 ;D Di are you sure that's a Dunnock? ;D

I am not sure it is a dunnock either??

::) ::) ::)


;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Oh please no, not that, anything but that  ;D ;D ;D

Love your little birdy (whatever it may be).  Isn't it fab to watch fledglings?  It's my favourite waste of time.  It may sound daft to some but it makes me come over all weepy.  I'm a tough old girl generally but dick bods fledging gets me every time  ;D

Hi Di,

Tried to make out the bird.  But if you say it's a dunnock, then it is !
;D :D ;D :D ::)

It's definitely a dunnock, 'cos I know my birds, and here's a pic to prove his parentage once and for all !!!

Well looking closer at the pic.  I think it is a baby ROBIN

Vulture, definately a baby Vulture.  :P

Oh for heavens sake you lot..we all know its Oddie getting ready for his summer watch.

[size=06pt] ;D so it's not a Dunnock then? ;D[/size]

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

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

Hahaha!!!!   Baggy !!  ;D   You mean the one that kips on its back 'cos it's pining for the Fjords !!!   ;D   Hilarious sketch !!   :D

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?
     All The Best-Marky ;)

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

Hi Glyn,
           That's a lovely bird-and a great photo too.
                     Cheers- Marky :)

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.
