Not a Song Thrush!

It landed on the bar at the top of the feeders, looked around and then flew off. I took this quick picture and I was wondering what it was. I thought it might be a Song Thrush, probably a Juvenile. But Commonman soon pointed out the obvious - it's a Dunnock or Hedge Sparrow. I thought it was too big to be a sparrow, but that is what it almost certainly is.

The silly thing is that it was only a day or so ago that Pennybun blipped one and I commented!!

We have lots of them in the garden, but they are usually skulking around in the hedgerows. I think this one was surprised to find itself so high up and exposed and that's why it hastily flew off.

There are more pictures here.
