Another Bird for ID

[mbaldw]

Hi folks,

I photographed the below bird at Durlston Country Park (Swanage) yesterday, but I've so far been unable to ID it. Any suggestions?



Cheers,
Marc.

Thanks Debs & Faz. I probably should've spotted it was a Dunnock given that we have a pair nesting in the bush outside our window

Cheers,
Marc.

But Dunnock it is.

I was at Durlston last week, lovely little place

I agree with other members that's its a Dunnock however you could bring up the light levels in photoshop or any other photo editing software because I think the confusion is I believe a little under exposed, by bringing up the the levels you will be able to see more of the grey around the birds head.

Hopes this help you more

Thanks Nige - I is a superb spot, I will most definitely be back. I think you're right about the exposure Richard; I'll have a play.

Cheers,
