Winter Wren (Troglodytes troglodytes) |
I guess everyone the world over knows the wren.
It is a bird that covers the globe in many different species. Both here
in the UK and the US the winter wren is a very small, skulking bird
known for belting out its rapid fire song and churring alarm call. Here
it is a common and widespread, resident bird that lives on a diet made
up mainly of insects. Because it is such a shy, small bird I have difficulties
getting good photos. The winter months however make them bolder and
they come closer in to the hide where I patiently wait.... |

The photo above was taken May 8th 2005.
Whilst I sit hidden inside the bird hide waiting for the wrens to come
in close this one decided to join me in the hide too. He had made a
nest up in the eaves and he was busy putting the finishing touches to
it. |
