Wren

I've heard wrens about in the garden nearly every day but haven't managed to see them. Today as I came home from work, I saw this little fellow hopping about in the tree. It is getting much harder taking pics of birds now that the trees are budding out all over. Wrens are not particularly colourful but I think they are dear little birds and I love the way their tales stick up. I haven't seen the Quackers today but Steve came back from the garage where he takes his cars for MOTs and they said that a male mallard had been squashed flat by a lorry. I do hope it wasn't Donald so I am anxiously waiting for him to appear. I didn't see him yesterday though as only Daisy turned up and ran up the garden when I called her
Such fast little beggars, aren't they? Quite shy, too. Nice capture though.

@padlock I'm pleased to say that both Donald & Daisy turned up tonight for their evening meal. Donald came first and I was just so pleased to see him. I called him and up he came. Then he flew off after having some food only to land in another part of the garden as Daisy arrived. He must have known that she was coming yet I didn't hear her! Amazing

I like the wrens. They are adorable little birds. You're right. It is getting much harder to see the birds with all the greenery about.

Well that's not fair! And you're right I'll never get one now the leaves are on - my favourite birds. Good news on the ducks. My mum ran over one once - completely unavoidable - just shot out - we are still traumatised at the thought.

Nice capture. I can always hear ours (they are very loud for their size aren't they?) but rarely see them.

Very well caught, I've seen one, but no chance of catching it, way to quick, well done. So happy to hear the quackers are safe and sound.

Bottoms up - nice catch.

Fabulous shot, I do love their tails as well.

I have been waiting for them here...thought I heard one the other day but haven't seen them at all. Lovely capture.

I love the almost-not-quite silhouette of this little wren and the details of him.

Nice POV.

Good capture. I have only seen a wren in the garden once and I didn't have my camera with me.
