I finally found again the only Heckenbraunelle in Stuttgart. It's been a long way for both of us. Look at him now: a grown-up, handsome, singing trouper.
(I've been waiting for almost 4 years to follow up on this joke). 🥲

One of the most inconspicuous birds, the dunnock. They are a quite common garden bird, but quite shy and therefore rarely seen, but I would guess that most people have heard them as they sing a tune that is quite similar to that of a wren.

Dunnock (Prunella modularis)
The Dunnock is also sometimes known as the Hedge Sparrow, but they are not members of the sparrow family. Female Dunnocks are often polyandrous, mating with two or more males at once, a relatively rare behaviour among birds. Dunnocks take just one-tenth of a second to mate, and can mate more than 100 times a day.

Sussex Dunnock @ Woods Mill by Adam Swaine
Via Flickr:
The shy dunnock can be seen hopping about under hedges as its other name, 'hedge sparrow', suggests. It inhabits gardens, woodlands, hedgerows and parks.
