Hooray ! Today I heard a dunnock singing, not just its single note contact call. Most song birds are quiet in winter, except for robins and wrens, so hearing the dunnock launching into its 'squeaky wheelbarrow wheel' song is a sure sign that spring is on its way.
Dunnocks are small and brown and secretive. They creep about under bushes looking for invertebrates and also seeds in winter. They are not keen on bird tables and feeders but will hop about underneath, collecting what they can.
