Learn how to tell the difference between a House Sparrow, Tree Sparrow and Dunnock - three birds that can sometimes be confused with one another.
In this video, we look at the key features that make these three birds easier to identify, including their head and cheek markings, chest colouring, bill shape and calls.
The Dunnock is sometimes called the Hedge Sparrow, even though it isn't actually a sparrow at all. House Sparrows and Tree Sparrows are true sparrows in the Passeridae family, while the Dunnock is an accentor belonging to the Prunellidae family.
Hopefully, this video will help you feel more confident identifying these three birds when you spot them in your garden or out and about.
