What is a "dunnock"?

A dunnock, also known as a hedge sparrow, is a small passerine bird with a subtle and unassuming appearance. Their plumage is mostly gray-brown, blending in well with their surroundings. Dunnocks are characterized by their slender bodies, fine bills, and relatively long tails. They are typically found in habitats with dense vegetation, such as hedgerows, woodlands, and gardens. Dunnocks are known for their secretive and skulking behavior, often staying close to the ground and utilizing the undergrowth for cover. They feed on a variety of food sources, including insects, spiders, seeds, and berries. Dunnocks are socially intriguing birds, as they engage in a complex mating system involving monogamous and polygynous relationships. Their soft and melodious song adds a pleasant touch to the natural soundscape.
