More indentification required please

I am still learning albeit not fast enough. It seems the capacity for storage is rather full or as I suspect shrinking with this ageing problem we have in the later stages of life but at least the brain ticks albeit slowly. ;) :\

Are these dunnocks?

Going by the beak - I think they're House Sparrows in the first picci. Dunnocks have a more pointed, darker sort of beak.

I don't know the bird in the second picci.

As Pol has said. The first are female house Sparrows.

The second is a Fieldfare

Thanks both.

Fancy the Fieldfare being common ;) I thought I had taken a rare one. :eek:
