I thought I was start a new thread dedicated to our beautiful wee Dunnocks and hope you will share all your fabulous Dunnock pics aswell. These wee birds don't get the credit they deserve and are often mistaken for allsorts of other birds.
Please feel free to add your pics

A gang of House Sparrows have taken over my feeders so not seen much else for a while. This was a visitor yesterday morning whilst the feeders were empty. Looks like he has a lump on his head though.
Hi Dave thanks for your additions....please can you keep a close eye on your garden visitors as the lump could be avian pox . I had a Great tit show up in the garden with a few lumps and I had to remove all feeders for a few weeks and give them a deep clean...you can read more on avian pox in the link below. www.bto.org/.../avian-pox
5 seconds of sunshine today.....
Aw cute, only 5 seconds of sunshine! How long do you want! On Thursday, we had a scorching day, 24, and it was too hot. Yesterday, it was better, not too hot BUT mid day the heavens opened and I have never see rain like it, at least not in a long time. The road was like a river, looking out the window it was like a fog, you could not see through it, thunder and lightning. It cleared then and was okay. Nice today, no sun but very close, just got out with the mower and got the roadside and round the edges of the main lawn cut, when it started raining! Finished lunch now so out off to have another go with the sit on. Oh the joys og gardening!
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
I was going to cut my grass today if the weather was nice, and it was. So I thought, 'sod it', it will only grow again, and went out for a walk instead. Maybe tomorrow ...
