Dunnock is a special bird, a commoner, keeps its head down, hides behind everyone, and is a shy bird. I bird I can relate myself with.
The Dunnock is a shy, small bird, about the size of a robin, which is common in gardens, hedges, woods, scrub, etc. You will find them keeping low under the bushes or even under the feeder. They nest low in the hedges and scrub, I have found their abandoned nests while clearing hedges in my garden. The Dunnock is a brownish-grey bird, with a dark grey head and unlike sparrow a thin bill. Bright Brown colored eye with black pupil stands out.
Birds Facts: The Dunnock females are often polyandrous, breeding with two or more males at once, which is quite rare among birds. And males tend to not discriminate between their own young and those of another male.
