Dunnock

Prunella modularis

Least Concern

The Dunnock is a small, streaked mountain songbird that keeps low in scrub, rocks, hedges, or alpine meadows of gardens, hedgerows, woodland edges, and scrub across Europe and western Asia. It feeds mostly on seeds and small insects, often shuffling quietly on the ground before giving a thin, musical call from cover.
