Q

dunnock

The hedge accentor or “dunnock” as it is fondly called is a small passerine songbird found throughout temperate Europe and Asian Russia and is a member of the accentor family. Most members of the accentor family inhabit the mountainous regions of Europe and Asia except for the Dunnock and the Japanese accentors which are also seen in lowlands.

Dunnocks are also referred to as “hedge sparrows”, a name which is rather misleading. Accentors are small, fairly drab species superficially similar, but unrelated to, sparrows; they are generally regarded as being related to the thrushes or the warblers. Accentors have thin sharp bills, reflecting their diet of ground-dwelling insects in summer, augmented with seeds and berries in winter. Sparrows on the other hand have stout conical bills adapted for seed eating.

The name dunnock comes from old English “dun” - brown and “ock” - small, literally translating to “little brown bird”! What it lacks with its drab sparrow like colouring, it makes up with its singing! The genus name accentor comes from Latin “ad cantor” which means - the singer.

meadow pipit

The two features that make clear it’s not a sparrow or a bunting are the long claw that others have pointed out, and the fine bill. That’s an insect eater’s bill. If you look at sparrows and buntings you’ll see they have much thicker, heavier bills, which they need for dealing with seeds, which are a major part of their diet as adults. But the spur claw is diagnostic for a pipit.

mistle thrush

The mistle is easy to identify when you know the differences.

More upright stance

Rounded spots on belly (vs arrowhead shape on song)

Greyer colouring (vs Browner song thrush)

The Mistle Thrush looks greyer in colour, and is larger than the Song Thrush

also the song thrush has these perfect little arrows shapes and the Mistle is more blotchy

201
Q
A

song thrush

In general, I find that if its stance is more or less horizontal, looking down, it’s a song thrush, whereas upright and ‘looking down its nose’ would be a mistle thrush. Also the song thrush is a bit ‘dumpier’ whereas the mistle is longer and relatively slimmer, perhaps
