Fledgling Blue Dykie
I grew up calling these Blue Dykies. I always assumed it was Cumbrian and based round the lovely light sky blue of their eggs. This week Clickychick informs me it is Scottish in origin. Well yes I grew up within 30 miles or so of the border but I am still not convinced.
Most people know the Blue Dykie as a Dunnock these days and before that a Hedge Sparrow. It certainly isn't a Sparrow being a member of the Accentor group.
A usual quiet day round home and pottering in the garden.
