| | | Help in ID these Birds
Hi, very new to bird watching. Just bought a new camera + lens.
Tying it out, and took these photos. Can somebody help me in finding out what they are.
Have a few more bird pics that need ID, I will post these another day.
Thanks for your help.

Forgive my approaching randomness but aren't Sylvia and Prunella nice names for a bird?

Sylvia I believe relates to woodland? I think anyway! |

Mick, could be, but the bill seems a BIT too dark. I still think Dunnock.
Yes, Sylvia and Prunella ARE good bird names, particularly for 'hens'!
