Four Candles X - Prunella de Ville

The Dunnock - the UK's only bird of the species Accentor or Prunellidae. You have to go up a Swiss Mountain to find the other species of Accentor in Europe, with the Dunnock's cousin the Alpine Accentor.

My parents did an awesome job of keeping the feeders stocked whilst we were away, and the garden is mobbed with birds. The Jay is still making frequent visits, and both Nuthatches are a permanent fixture.

Whilst walking down the pub today we came across a Robin sat on top of a small shrub/ tree singing its lungs out. We stopped and watched him/ her for five minutes. It was quite brilliant!

This blip is of course part of the on going Four Candles series!
