ID needed, possibly Dunnock?

[Reptilian]

Hi, just a few quick id's if you don't mind

I've been told all 3 are of a dunnock, but the 2 pics of the same bird didn't behave very dunnock like to me. Group of 5-6 all in one tree, occasionally one would come out alone which is when i got those pics. Light fronted and seemed fatter looking than a dunnock. Sorry for the pics they are pretty bad quality, i'm still new at trying to get shots of birds and the light was awful, sun was never in the right place and it seemed to mess up my camera.

This one i belive is a Dunnock..



Is this also a dunnock? Looks like he's caught an insect of some kind




Is there a colour difference between male and female dunnocks?

Thanks.

All 3 are Dunnocks but im unsure on the behaviour of them.

[Deer Stalker]

Yep, all three are Dunnocks & there's no colour diference between male & female.

Male & females look the same I'm afraid and as to why ther are 5 or 6, it could have been a family group.

Sounds very much like a family group of Dunnock still together, possibly from a second or late brood.

If I may just add my ten penneth, yes they are, as has been said, all Dunnocks, my experience of them is that they can look very different depending on the way the light shines on them, sometimes they look very brown and dowdy other times quite bright and the grey areas on them look really blue.
I find them really entertaining, especially when they do the courtship "dance" which I find delightful.

Thanks all.

I don't usually see Dunnocks any where apart from my garden and they're always in the ground and i've never seen them groups which is what threw me. Thanks again.
