Järnsparv - Prunella modularis - Dunnock

Despite the fact this happened close to water this bird obviously preferred to take a sand bath. It was so much fun to watch.  From my trip to Scotland last June. :)

  3. Fina bilder på järnsparven! Speciellt söt är den på den sista bilden! Tror faktiskt jag haft den här i trädgården också, tog ett tag att förstå att det inte var en gråsparv. /Pia

  5. How funny! I always thought sand baths were for just when there wasn't any water handy! He looks like he's having fun.
