Dunnock. (Prunella modularis)

Not a bird I often blip.  The reason for that is its natural habits.   The bird I knew as a lad as a BLue Dykie or Hedge Sparrow prefers to keep to the ground for feeding and is happy creeping about in low vegetation such as "dyke backs" (hedge bottoms).  There is one time of the year where by choice it forsakes this habit and that is breeding season, when you will see it at the very top of a bush or small tree signing loudly (song posting.

So why is it up on the feeders today.  Well we have had a few days with snow covering the ground and it clearly didn't think the other birds were spilling enough for it to get its share.  So there it was perched on the feeding tray grabbing its share of the food.
