| | | Brown bird
Taken last june. Was along time ago so ive forgot is song although it was quite complex. Carnt remember the size to well either  although it was bigger than a sparrow sized bird. It looks alot like a robin i think but plain brown, its song was different too.
Thanks alot. |

| | | Re: Brown bird Sounds like a Dunnock, but I can't help but think that the silhouette reminds me of a robin. |

| | | Re: Brown bird Looks like a juvenile (brown speckly) Robin.
Maybe learning its vocal repertoire?

| | | Re: Brown bird Hope you don't mind, Dogghound, I've played with your pic a bit and added more light, it might help with the ID
Unfortunately I can't help with the ID but hopefully someone can soon

| | | Re: Brown bird With the added enhancement I am going to change my mind and go with my hunch of robin. It just doesn't look like a dunnock. It may not have the red of an adult robin, but it sure looks like one. |

| | | Re: Brown bird Definitely not a Robin - a bird that sings would have to have been an adult so would have had a red breast: also the tail looks too long. Probably not a Dunnock, either. It was June, it had a "quite complex" song and was "plain brown". So, an obvious candidate would be Garden Warbler although even the considerably-brightened photo isn't enough for a 100% positive ID. |

| | | Re: Brown bird Confused by this one.
Admittedly, its tail does look too long for a Robin, given a closer look.
The more and more I look at it, the more and more it begins to look like a juvenile Blackbird???? But juv blackbirds don't sing do they???
Oh I don't know?!
