Embankment Dunnock

There was a Rock Pipit hopping around the little beach by the Step Rock/Bruce Embankment, shortly afterward I saw this and initially it looked to be the same bird, but then the difference was enough to show him (her?) to be a Dunnock instead. It looked rather lost, aimlessly hopping around and fluffing its plumage as if to keep warmer. While I watched it for several minutes it didn't seem to find anything worth picking up. I didn't last too long there myself, my hands became too cold for comfort so I gave it best and took the car to the harbour for a quick check there before off home for some hot coffee. The R.Pipit didn't produce any postable shots.
