I’m not sure whether this male Wren’s posturing was a threat display – ‘This is my territory. Enter at your own risk!’ – or whether he was trying to impress the other Wren that was dotting about in the tree nearby – ‘Look at me! I’m a big healthy tough male and I’d make a good mate.’ He sure was giving it his all though – it always amazes me how much sound can be produced by such a small bird.

Really like the post format you are using this year Annie – such a good idea, and the photos as usual are perfection 😀 PS am finally retiring in May!

Thanks, Shelley. Trying to keep it a bit more simple this year.
Enjoy your retirement. I’m sure you’ll have plenty to keep you busy and enjoying life. 🙂

Travel is top of the list for the next few years beginning with a train trip from Paris to Zagreb via several different cities and ending with a small boat cruise up the Croatian coast – leaving the week after I retire. 🙂

Their volume is astounding, isn’t it?
I once found a stunned Wren outside my office (it had flown into a window) I picked it up and let it rest in my palm for a while before flying off and I felt such a sense of privilege.

Well done, you! 🙂
One of my Facebook friends told me he’d read that Wrens have evolved natural ear defenders so they don’t deafen themselves as they sing. I can believe it!
