Every now and then a pause on eating and a good look round for any dangers. In the open like this this Wren was spending more time on he safety than foraging for food. Did you see how big the feet in relation to body size.

Aye, you're right, the feet do look big in comparison to the body.

These are great photos, Tommy. Not easy to get pictures of wrens, they are usually so secretive and quick. I love the pattern in the feathers, it's so intricate and you can make it out here.

Fabulous photo, Tommy, such shy tiny birds with a big voice. I know there is one in my garden when I hear a loud chckchk call, I never see it though!

Thank you all, just happy that I had a camera handy. I am putting down quite a lot of chopped dried mealworms in the pots near the windows but first time I actually managed to catch something.

might try that myself now ~ thanks tommy

Hello Stickitoffee,
You might find the birds will stay longer as they have to peck up more pieces to get the same amount of a whole mealworm.
Gives you longer to aim that camera.

now that is clever thinking tommy ~ why didnt i think of that!??
at the moment ~ in this mild spell ~ they dont seem to be visiting so much; a few days ago when it was a little chillier we had red wings on the holly [awkward angle from the window to take photos annoyingly], long tailed tits, blue tits and possibly a goldcrest?????

Dobrý deň, Katarina, ospravedlňujem sa možno nepochopili ma. Len pomocou porezaná mealworms prilákať toľko rôznych druhov vtákov, ako je to možné, aby som sa fotiť. By sa nikdy ani uvažovať zotrvávajú a ilegal vo Veľkej Británii
Ak použijete menšie porcie jedla vták musí ostať dlhšie, jesť rovnaké množstvo potravín ako by ste používali väčšiu časť. Niektorí ľudia používajú surové mleté mäso, aby sa vtáky scavenger krajine a krmív. Ak ste použili úplne mŕtvy vták alebo myši vtáčie perá a bude mať veľa naraz. Odpusť mi, či sa mýlim, ale RSPCB odradiť túto prax pre Red draci vo Veľkej Británii a opýtajte sa nás, je kŕmiť.
Použitie menšie porcie jedla vám dlhšiu dobu cieľ, zamerať sa potom strieľať. (Take Photo)
Dúfam, že chápete moje anglickej gramatiky, ako veľmi dobrý. ..... Tom
Hello Katarina, Sorry you might have misunderstood me. Just using chopped up mealworms to attract as many different bird species as possible for me to take photographs. Would never even consider trapping them and ilegal in UK
If you use smaller portions of food the bird has to stay longer to eat the same amount of food as if you were using larger portion. Some people use raw minced meat to make the scavenger birds land and feed. If you used a whole dead bird or mouse the bird would swoop and take the lot in one go. Forgive me if I am wrong but the RSPCB discourage this practise for the Red Kites in the UK and ask us not to feed them.
Using smaller portions of food give you a longer time to aim, focus then shoot. ( Take Photo)
Hope you understand my English Grammar as not very good. .....Tom
