Dunnock

A common little Garden and Hedgerow bird, quiet

and unobtrusive

 

This is interesting!!

 

Dunnocks have a rather more colourful domestic arrangement than most Birds, since female will often court other males whilst already mated with another.This ensures that her chicks will receive an adequate supply of food from both males, no matter who the father is.

 

Dunnock nests are often parasitized by cuckoos!
