Dippers, Dunnocks, Wrens and Starlings - The Wren

First seen on Monday 27th January 2020 at Wallington

This tiny bird is more often heard than seen, with its very loud song with a trill at the end. Wrens can be found all over the estate and can often be seen flying very low between bushes, and rummaging around on the ground. Normally, the best place to get a clear view (as with most of the garden birds) is on the bird feeders, although I've yet to see a Wren from the Wildlife Hide. Although they rarely feed on the feeders, they can often be seen below, or walking in and out of the dead wood on the ground. These Wrens were seen in the woods (it was quite dark). Another good spot to see Wrens is by the water's edge, in amongst the reeds.
