Her real name of course is the much earthier Troglodytes troglodytes, and she is the UK’s commonest breeding bird. Her tiny size, and preference for shaded corners and thick undergrowth, means that despite being so common she is relatively difficult to see; at least, that is, unless you look for her.
I took this sequence in the churchyard of St Laurence Church, adjacent to the pond at Falmer. She was hopping long the flint wall, occasionally diving down to peck at spider webs (see second and fourth shots).
A pretty little thing, and one of my best sequences of a wren. Even the light was good.
Camera note: all photos taken with the Canon 7D Mark II and EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM lens.

5 Feb 2015It looks so similar to Pacific Wren that we have in BC that I thought it is the same one as on your photo. Cute little bird 🙂
