The Wren.

Europe's smallest Birds are the Goldcrest and Firecrest,..the Wren is pretty close in size and one of our most widespread garden Birds,..it has nested in my Birdhouse.

 

it looks like our Carolina Wren.. cute bird, but it songs alllllllllllll day long.

 

Almost identical to the Carolina Wren Carolyn,..similar to your name pronounced,..its very hard to see it when its not out in the open,..yep sings quite a lot.

 

Eileen i agree they do make one smile,..always alone,..except in the mating season,..i hope they stay though they have a habit of moving house.

Hiya Philip,
What is the diameter of the hole, mate?

 

Hi Sjoerd,..just went out to measure it,..hard to believe but 1 1/2 inches and the Wrens have room to spare getting in and out.

Thanks Philip.
That was a nice thing to do at this time of night.

 

.....its just about ten foot from the back door,..temps are in the high 60'sF,..but thank's

 

I actually got so tired of it singing I put a rubber snake out on the porch to make it move away from the house.

 

What a great neighbor! I sure wish I had some in my yard but with all my cats it probably wouldn't be a good thing I loved the video! I think that little turned up tail is cute

 

Great shots Philip.

 

I think this bird was in my garden two years ago.
They flit through plant pots at an amazing speed. I thought at first it was a Field mouse. I managed to photograph it and sent to the RSPB to find out which bird it was...it was indeed a Wren.

Thanks for the vid, Philip. It is amazing to see how that little fellow broadcasts his song left to right. Everyone has to know that the territory is his. hahaha.
