While I was standing on a track in the Woodland this week, this male Wren suddenly appeared from low undergrowth and perched on a low hanging branch. It started singing away as male Wrens tend to do especially at this time. I took a number of shots and it moved onto other branches several times, but still within a comfortable range that I didn't have to move position. It was possible that there was a nest under construction low down and I got the impression that the male Wren was trying to tell me to go away or words to that effect.{:))
Apparently the male Wren builds several nests and the female comes along and choses one.
The male then lines the nest with moss etc. This sounds familiar.{:))
Nice photos Roy, I like the Wren.
ReplyDeleteA fantastic study of this beautiful wren Roy.
ReplyDeleteThanks Denise.
DeleteFor some reason reminds of Woodstock from the snoopy cartoons!
ReplyDeleteI must have missed that one Simon.{:))
DeleteMuch like our House Wren, they are very chatty and like to scold. Our House Wren also builds several nests.
ReplyDeleteYes Steve, but quite a bit smaller I think.

ReplyDeleteThanks John, yes I was lucky with that one.

DeleteHi Roy! Great shots capturing those "wrenny" postures! I love them. He resembles our little House Wren. I love hearing that scolding call when one is in our yard.
ReplyDeleteHi Kelly, thanks they are real little characters.
DeleteHe does look worried. Nice images.
ReplyDeleteThanks Wilma.
DeleteHeerlijk je kan uren naar zijn gezang zitten te luisteren.
