What birds might you see? |
Dunnock
A small, easily overlooked bird, the dunnock creeps around under bushes in a mouse-like way. It is a brown and grey bird with a slender beak, which it uses to catch its insect and spider food. Dunnocks are sedentary, rarely moving more than one kilometre from where they hatched. When two rival males come together they become animated with lots of wing-flicking and loud calling. It also has an extremely promiscuous lifestyle and was seen in 49 per cent of gardens during Big Garden Birdwatch 2008.
