Jernspurv

Brystet og en del af hovedet er blågråt og øreområdet er brunligt. Ungfuglen har oprindeligt det brungrå mørke plettede øverste hoved og stærkere stribede dele, men udvikler sig hurtigt til et fjerdragt, der næsten ikke skelnes fra de voksne. Det er diskret og minder om gråspurve hannen, men har et slankt næb.Sometimes known as the Hedge sparrow owing to its similarity to the House Sparrow. At first sight the Dunnock looks uniformly brown, but on closer inspection it has streaked upperparts and a grey head. Males and females are very similar, but juveniles are browner and more striped than the adults. Although similar to a House Sparrow, ID is easy as the Dunnock has a very thin bill and orange legs.
