At first glance the Dunnock, also known as Hedge Sparrow or Hedge Accentor, looks like a dull sleek sparrow.On closer inspection it is quite attractive with its blue-grey head and breast, light and dark brown streaky back, brown streaked flanks and pink legs. The black bill is finer than that of a sparrow, because it feeds mainly on insects and not seed. They are the only Accentor to live in lowland areas, all others live in upland and mountainous regions. The Dunnock's song is a pleasant surprise also; an unhurried sweet warble which can be confused with the Wren or Robin , but lacks the Wren's intensity and the Robin's sweetness.The main call is shrill, persistent "tseep", which often betrays its otherwise inconspicuous presence. The Dunnock is predominantly a ground feeder and feeds on insects, such as beetles and ants, and spiders, which it gleans from leaf litter, among plant roots, etc. In the autumn and winter they will eat seeds and berries.
