Hi all,

First time poster. I noticed this bird trying to sun itself after a deluge of rain. It looks like a young bird to me but I'm not familiar with it; I haven't seen it in my garden before.

Saw this bird trying to sun itself after a deluge of rain. Never seen one in my garden before. Does anyone know what kind of bird it is?

That is a Dunnock.

Cheers-might make sense as I've got two dunnocks that come into my garden. But its fluffy which makes the iding difficult

Yea. I found the id forum after so pisted it in there. Apologies

Cheers. A drenched one? Or a juvenile do you think?

Looks like a moulting juvenile, so a combination of the two no doubt. Not sure I can see anything that ages it as a juvenile with certainty though

Cheers. I was just trying to get an understanding of why I couldn't identify it-appreciate your reply.
