Just out of interest, is a Dunnock in any way related to a Sparrow ? - Its only since feeding birds and paying more attention to them that I have noticed the difference between the two - I have a Dunnock that feeds regularly under hedges and bushes and alone and its behaviour is completely different to a sparrows - I just wondered if they were from the same family of birds as they look very similar ?

Much excitement this morning - we now have TWO dunnocks, yip-yip!
I know what these birds are like - at this rate, can I expect orgies behind the compost bin come the breeding season? Will the neighbours complain that I am running some kind of avian bordello? :-)
