This seemed rather large for a Dunnock but I can't be sure it looks a youngster too

Can't turn this into anything other than a Dunnock Beryl.

Thanks Pete. Thought it must be but just needed conformation, each time I see a Dunnock it looks different

**Merlin** · 31-05-2008, 09:38 PM

Lots of birds have alternative names Beryl, but I bet you know this. The Dunnock's is Hedge Sparrow......I bet you knew that too, but I'm just in a 'showing off' mood.

Yes I did. The locals call them hedge Sparrows down here

To go out without it (which I only ever did once) is like going out without your pants on. I've never understood why I responded to the 'Cameras and Equipment' question in this way because in reality I own a Leica Telescope with eyepieces, Zeiss Binoculars, and a Manfrotto Tripod all of which cost a positive fortune.
