[Tilly2]

i think it was a trick question.

dunnock = hedge sparrow. I've seen that, and the tree creeper, in my garden.

I thought dunnocks were native?

[frugalfred]

I think you're right, Tilly. Marten/Martin

[wildwood]

The answer is that the hedge sparrow, tree creeper (Eurasian) and the sand martin are native to the British Isles. That is not to say that they are exclusively so.

Well the Pine Marten is not a bird native to Britain in fact it's not a bird at all. It's a mammal. Do you mean Sand Martin?
