D'ya know, the more I look at it, the more it looks like a baby robin !  Are robins related to dunnocks !?   

[BAGGY]

I think it's a Norwegian blue. Lovely plumage the Norwegian blue ......

Come on you lot. It's a bunch of twig's with some feathers thrown in to make it look like a Dunnock...

 :)Hello everyone,
                             I hope you're all having a nice,relaxing weekend.
  I'm a fairly recent convert to the wonderful hobby of bird watching and, I have to admit,I haven't got a clue when It comes to young birds.
  However,I've just looked It up in my new bird book,and I reckon It is definitely a baby Dunnock.
....A shy retiring bird,often found deep in a shrubbery or at the edge of a flower-bed,where it can be hard to see well.
  I wouldn't describe the Dunnock as my favourite bird.I prefer one  a little less timid,such as the Kestrel,or the Sparrowhawk.I'm also Quite fond of the Magpie.Apparently,Its a bird you either love or hate.
  Does anyone else have a favourite bird?

I like most birds, and now's a good time for watching them before the trees and brush fill in....

Following on from MagpieDi - here is a slightly blurred photo of our baby Blackbirds - we have 2 this year and they are getting more and more adventurous as is shown by them venturing into the yard from the garden and debating whether or not to have a ride on my youngest's bike.

Lucky you Lou, and the blackbirds ! Two survived the Magpies !
