So, this unremarkable looking bird is a Dunnock, an insect eater that scuttles around under garden bushes and the like. I very rarely see them in Prospect Park, but today this one was proudly singing away as a loud as it could on leafless branches - so I’d just like to spread its word that there’s something to sing about.

I don’t know dunnocks but I wanted to hear what he might be singing so here’s a clip:

“Sing if you’re glad to be grey, sing if you’re happy that way”
Yup, that sort of short phrase sounds like that which I was hearing today.
