Thats its old name Don, its more often called by its proper name now, a Dunnock, and its more closely related to the Robin than the Sparrow, this one is only a juvenile.

Spot on capture, as were the greenfinches

I bet you'll be sorry to go back nome after all these colourfull birds

Excellent shot of a little nipper. Well captured, we are lucky to have quite a few of these little characters where we live.
