The bird is definately a Dunnock - Dunnock's have the pointed beak as they are primarily insect feeders and the sparrow's beak is more stubby as a seed feeder. The often hang around with sparrows, I have a group of them in my garden, pretty little birds and have a beautiful song. Wonderful shot of it too. Linda PS: RM - can I ask a small favour of you and your Hoverfly book, until I get one soon. Could you take a look at this and see if the ID in your book looks correct as Melanostoma Scalare, please. Would be very grateful if you could when you get a minute. Thanks. http://www.pbase.com/lindabuckell/image/83171599 Linda lovely bokeh, ID might be correct but not sure if you can be sure from that angle - need an above shot. Toby
