Dunnock - Prunella modularis

Dunnocks are small brown songbirds that were introduced from England into multiple regions of New Zealand between 1865 and 1896. They are a common sight in urban gardens and open country in southern New Zealand, but are scarcer in the northern North Island. The drab appearance of dunnocks is compensated by their stunningly complex breeding behaviours - www.nzbirdsonline.org.nz
