Wren feeding young 12-06-09.jpg

Reminds me of a visit to the dentist - open wide!

Great shot.

You still got some teeth then Wagger?
Thanks Bernieh.

B****y cheek. Bet you've never seen me smiling with my mouth closed. Plenty of fillings though.

Brilliant shot Toto You did well to capture them.

Lovely close up - surprised you didnt leap in to check what sort of bug she was feeding her baby with..oh thats ok got plenty more of those ..

My favourite little bird, lovely photo. How lovely to see them like this. Added to favourites.

Funny you should say that Bonkers. I had some bread and after wrestling her to the ground I managed to get the grub from her and it went down very well.
Thank you Pansy.

Oh so thats why they build so many nests .. trying to throw you off the scent .

Thank you Gee. I love these little birds too.
Probably Bonkers but I'm too clever for them. They don't call me bird brain for nothing you know.

What a perfect photo. I love wrens, they are so tiny and cute :-)

Good job it's not christmas when all and sundry would be out hunting (and killing)them. We've got some strange old customs in this country!

Thanks Dawn and Irish.
I agree Wagger. If it moves, kill it. If it doesn't move, make it move and kill it. I wonder who thought up such wonderful sport? Oh! I know, bet it was big ears.

Hunting the wren goes back much further than that, Toto. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wren_Day
John Kirkpatrick sings about it on one of his albums.

Oh come now...they hunt a fake bird it says...
Toto I particularly love the mama birds tail feathers..she is such a happy hard working mama bird..and that baby just loves her..

Thanks Cat. There were two other babies that she was feeding at the same time so she was definitely hardworking.

She is a good mama...

Oh lovely shot Toto......perfect timing for a lunch break............

She certainly is Cat.
Thanks Milky. It was lunch break for me and the baby wrens.

Lovely photo.....lovely birds.

Thank you Phil. They are lovely birds but then they all are.

amazing pic toto

Thanks Sanbaz.
