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.
