Wrens are never easy to see and photograph at the best of times.
With most of the trees and bushes still covered in foliage, I was fortunate to find two that were hiding a low bush. I watched for a while and they both eventually put in brief appearances and it was a matter of shoot and hope for the best. I managed to get one of them.
Fantastic Roy, well done :-)
ReplyDeleteNice photos, I like wrens. There are a lot of them around here but you usually only catch glimpses of them flitting from one place to another, they never seem to stay still for long..
ReplyDeleteThanks D. Hopefully you get to see a few more in winter when they can't hide quite so well.
DeleteThis little bird dominates our garden! It shouts at any intrusion to its territory. My favourite bird. Great pictures.
ReplyDeleteondanks dat alles nog zo groen is heb je ze toch maar mooi te pakken.
ReplyDeleteNiet groen voor veel langer Nic. dank
DeleteWonderful photos, Roy. I'm envious that you've managed to take them. I've almost given up trying to photograph Wrens, they are so quick and usually so well hidden. This little bird is lovely.
ReplyDeleteThanks Wendy. You will get to see them more in the winter time.
DeleteI love the wren families; you photos are really lovely Roy; great catches
ReplyDeleteHey Roy... You managed very well!! Wonderful tiny ones and that tail is a dead giveaway when you see them!!
ReplyDeleteThere is always one box they nest in every year, but this year I did not see one at all !! : (

Cracking shots of a lovely little bird Roy.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant photos of this pretty little wren Roy and I love your header too. Fancy that, identifying the Union Jack as being improperly hung in my post. Very observant of you. I went back and took another look and saw immediately. Thanks for that info!
ReplyDeleteThanks Denise.{:))
DeleteWonderful! None of our wrens are easy to get. I have a pair of Carolina Wrens in the yard. Have you seen them on SMU? NO! Therefore I must say, "Hats off!" to you!
ReplyDeleteThanks Steve, no I didn't see any in SMU, but I did see a lot of fantastic images though.
DeleteRoy, you caught it in that rare still moment! a lovely set of images...[;o)
ReplyDeleteRoy, so cute!!!! Well done, indeed it isn't easy to cath this quick little bird but you did it again.
ReplyDeleteRegards,
Marianne
Thanks Marianne.
DeleteI am thinking about getting a nestbox for the wrens to roost in during the cold winter months. One of my neighbours has House Martins nests under the eaves of her roof and during the winter as many as nine wrens come and roost in them.
ReplyDeleteThats a lovely idea Lyn.
DeleteI have read that there have been up to twenty wrens in some boxes.
lovely captures Roy. tricky blighters.....
ReplyDeleteThanks Pete.
DeleteIt's a little troublemaker, but you're very beautiful wren down :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Helma.{:))
DeleteLove his little hind end shot, cute, cute.
ReplyDeleteThanks Laura.
