AI overview

I don't have enough context provided to write an accurate overview. The context only shows "thumb|Prunella modularis" (the scientific name for a dunnock), but contains no descriptive information about what the bird is, its characteristics, or why it matters. I cannot write the overview without inventing facts, which would violate your instructions.

The dunnock (Prunella modularis) is a small passerine, or perching bird, found throughout temperate Europe and into Asian Russia. Dunnocks have also been introduced and become common in New Zealand. It is the most widespread member of the accentor family; most other accentors are limited to mountain habitats. Other, largely archaic, English names for the dunnock include hedge accentor, hedge sparrow, hedge warbler, and titling.
