Dunnock

Description:

A European robin-sized bird, the dunnock typically measures 13.5–14 cm in length. It possesses a streaked back, somewhat resembling a small house sparrow. Like that species, the Dunnock has a drab appearance which may have evolved to avoid predation. It is brownish underneath and has a fine pointed bill. Adults have a grey head, and both sexes are similarly coloured.Unlike any similar sized small brown bird, Dunnocks exhibit frequent wing flicking, especially when engaged in territorial disputes or when competing for mating rights.

Habitat:

Perched on a fence near on the top of a cliff by the coast.
