Dunnocks - didn't know they existed two years ago.
It's a commonish bird, but I'm stoked to finally get what I consider to be a good shot of a dunnock (Prunella modularis). Normally they are hopping around on the ground, which I don't think makes for as nice a shot as a perching bird. It's amazing how fussy I've become considering I didn't even know they existed two years ago - everything small and brown was a house sparrow. Now I've got my eye in I can see they are quite different.
