no sure what this bird is

Ooooooooooo its a Wren Eileen how ever did u get a pic of this ? Mines gone with the wind as soon as it hears the Back Door Handle Turn :/

~have you got a hide out there,Eileen?What is coming up in the pot already?

Yes, a wren ! As Jacque says, they are usually very rapid in disappearing.

Arlene - good thinking. Eileen must have some sort of secret hideaway to get these fab photos.
AND a mild climate with all those bulbs peeking through. LOL

~I've got some in the back garden too!

Some hideaways ? LOL

Awww. A lovely little Jenny Wren. Beautiful Eileen.

My favourite little bird. Well done to get the photo - they certainly flit about quickly.

Ahhh it,s a lovely little one , we do have one it usually builds behind the shed behind some guttering were you cant see the nest but you can see it fly in and out !

thanks everyone.
daft as this my sound but ive never seen a wren out the garden before, seems to be loads of different type birds here this yr

there pansies and daffodils in that pot Arlene

I think we are doing well for liitle birds this year

Yes i agree Deida iv seen more Types of Birds this yr than ever b4 :)

Fabulous little bird. Have you ever seen or maybe remember the farthing coin?

~the worry is that we are seeing more birds because their food sources are diminished~perhaps because of the bad weather~unfortunately it is not a good sign~keep feeding everyone!

A lovely litte Wren, another of my favourites.... we have one that flits all around my pots on the patio....

i have an old box of coins here, was the wren on the old farthing? i must roof out that box and have a look

Lovely little bird.

Such a Weeny bird with a big voice...you can always hear them in Spring scolding you.

Eileen ......you must have moved like lightening to get a photo of that wren......Well done

took about two days to get this one photo M lol

I had a wren nest in one of my hanging baskets the year before last :-)

aw that would be so good Sarah if it nested in one of mine

I love wrens, they are so tiny and cute!

And very brave when protecting their young. Once saw one trailing her "broken" wing. She was luring a cat away from her babies. Good job she was so very quick and flew off safely when the cat pounced.

isnt that amazing when they pretend to be injured

The wren in the hanging basket was a bit of a nuisance coz of watering - but it was facinating to watch it - it would be so careful that nobody of looking when it went to the nest and then would 'walk' up the wall to get at it, not fly. It didn't lay eggs in the nest and ended up abandoning - I've since read that wrens build several nests in different places before chosing which one to actually use - so this one was one of the rejects! It was just as well, so I could water my hanging basket properly!

LOL

A lovely photo of this adorable little Wren. I've tried a few times to get a photo of the one that comes in my garden, as soon as I open the door it's gone somewhere else!

Yes agree Sunblest,always too quick for me too Well done to Eileen !

thanks again guys
