Juvenile Robin?
Morgan and I made use of our new RSPB membership and went for a cold winters walk at Ynyshir this morning.
Lots of Canada Geese about but Morgan was a little cold so we couldn’t sit and look for birds for too long. I did manage a couple of photos of a bird that I think is a juvenile Robin.
Shame Morgan was cold – I wouldn’t have known that it was a juvenile robin though, so I have learnt something…
I’m not 100% sure either, but I don’t see what else it could be and its shape and habits gave it a way!

Looks like a fluffed up dunnock to me. I’d be very surprised to see a juvenile robin after the cold few months we had recently.
You’re probably right and not the first to say that to me either. It looked quite pale for a Dunnock, but as you say probably more likely then a Robin.
