Dunnock....

One of mine too Gee, lovely little busy birds;0)

Ditto ... I see one hopping around the back fence most days ... :o)

Lovely little bird !

great pic. how close were you? I've heard lots of new birdsong here - not seen any birds other than blurs as they whizz over the trees (thought I saw a white bird at the top of a tree, but when I got my binoculars on it, it turned out to be a pastic bag!)

The bird table is just a few feet from the kitchen door, Fran. The dunnocks usually feed on the ground but recently they have started sneaking up on the table. Had to laugh about your white bird! I have done the same sort of thing myself :)

Yes these are so sweet and shy....lovely peeping call too, same shape as the Robin too....

Lovely photo gee.... we have a pair who visit every day...

I had to move my bird feeder station because it got wind-blown: it's now a yard or so from the kitchen door. There are three hanging feeders, with suet and two different seed mixes, a water dish and a mesh dish. Don't seem to get any visitors, unless I scare them off when I come into the kitchen. Or I just m ight not be offering what they want to eat. What kinds of food do you put out?

I tend to put out a seed mix, the 'no mess' one if I can get it cheap enough. I also put suet balls out and just kitchen crumbs, dried fruit etc. Give them time, Fran, I'm sure they will soon discover where the goodies are :)

thanks dear! :-)

Lovely pic of the Dunnock. We have a pair that visit our little garden and the male keeps flitting about after the female, he never seems to stop being on the go.

This is one of a pair too. Like you say, Linda, they flit about so quickly and I haven't yet managed a photo of them both together :)

One of our favourite small birds, love the red legs...
