A Dunnock. Also known as a Hedge Sparrow (though they're different families). A small grey and brown bird, easily missed or ignored as they're quite shy but, close up, you can see its lovely marked patterns. #Birds #UKbirding #ornithology - ThreadSky

They're usually the ones on the edge of the zone where other birds are feeding, pecking at invisible food!

Indeed, I see them scurrying around around and they never come to the feeders.

Even through binoculars from 10ft away I usually can't tell what they're eating! Perhaps they're playing some huge practical joke on us and they're actually carnivorous? 😉
