I was wondering if this little bird is a Dunnock, I was digging the garden when this little chap flew down and started rumaging for insects & worms

Hi Bunny

Welcome to the forum, what lovely photos of your baby robin - he/she's adorable, I can equally understand why you thought it might have been a dunnock they're really quite different compared to the adults.

Hi Bunny, welcome to the forum.

As TJ has suggested the bird is indeed a juvenile Robin.

Hi again

As a postscript to this thread I tried to find a photo of a dunnock amongst my collection so that you can compare but I couldn't. The best I can do is this little video which I made a couple or so weeks ago I hope this will help with identification in the future. I can see why you thought it might have been a dunnock. They both have that rather streaky speckled look about them.

Regards TJ
