    This looks to be a dunnock instead, Sara. A twitter user mentioned this. Posted 10 years ago

        It's ok, just take a little more time and you'll learn quickly. We also maintain a list of sites that may help:

        Personally, when I don't know a species, I often simply use Google image search. When you learn what to search for, you'll improve rapidly.         Posted 10 years ago

The Dunnock

The dunnock is a small passerine, or perching bird, found throughout temperate Europe and into Asian Russia. Dunnocks have also been successfully introduced into New Zealand. It is by far the most widespread member of the accentor family, which otherwise consists of mountain species. Other common names of the dunnock include the hedge accentor, hedge sparrow, or hedge warbler.
