Little wren

The smallest of the smallest, having a bath. 

He is so quick and cute.

Little wren came along last week.
Searching for little snacks...He is so cute,
He is one of the smallest of the smallest.
On the top-photo you can hardly find him...

Little wren

 The smallest of the smallest...

I hear him a lot in my garden...loudly tickering, defending his territory.

He has, so to speak the loudest voice when it comes to protecting what is his.

When you're small you need that I think. Letting hear your voice you're there.

I love this little birdy...extremely quick and fast and so now and then he takes a quick bath.

Little Wren

Every day,  Little wren comes along for a sip of water.

It's so cute to see how he is drinking. On the third photo you can see his little tiny tongue.

It was already getting darker a bit, when I noticed little Wren on the terrace.

He was picking something and than smashing it.

I needed to know more.

Through my camera lens I saw he had a big something!

A big caterpillar.

For such a small bird quite a big snack!

He smashed the thing like kingfishers do with their fishes.

I never had seen this.

When it was enough smashed he had a big full tummy!

Smallest of the smallest of the smallest

Today when I walked thru my garden, I noticed a small something flying away.
When I came closer, I saw it was a young baby wren.
He sat quietly almost unafraid.
So I ran into my house to get my camera out.
When I came back he still sat there on the same spot when I left.
I was able to come rather close.
The smallest of the smallest of the smallest!
My hero of the day!

Little Wren

Few days ago my tiny little bird friends came to the birdbath one after another.
Little wren and Goldcrest, both the smallest birds of all.
Even the Goldcrest is a little bit smaller than the wren.(I will make a post about him later)
I love these birds so much!
See how tiny little wren goes loose in the water, shaking all the dust off.

Little wren

I don't see him very often.
The little wren (winterkoning) is mostly so quick, when you look he's gone.
So also this morning.
One short moment and gone.
So I doodled him also in a short moment.

Little wren, visiting the violets,
there seems to be lots of yummy stuff in them.

So lovely!
Little wren taking his bath.
Such a cute little bird...making noise as the best when he is singing.

I dreamed yesterday-night about a very tiny little wren.
I tried to caress the bird on its little head...he stretched forward (its body became very long),
when it tried to bite me.

This morning, a wren came closer, for inspection in the birdbath.

He is so quick, so that the fly-away photo ended in a blur

Little wren

Not quit sharp, yet better than nothing,

little wren, searching for food on the ground.

wren young

My friend A. mailed me she had visited friends,
who had a pair of wren nesting in a shed in a rope.

I asked if I it was possible for me to have a look too!
It was!

So I drove all the way to my friends, friends house, which lay in beautiful surroundings
lovely garden..lots of birds...lots of birdsinging!
And there it was...stuffed away in a tool-shed hidden in a string of rope...
a very little tiny nest hardly to be seen from a distance.
4 little ini-mini beaks peaking out.
and so now and then mother or father wren coming along feeding.
such beautiful little small birds.

and such a lovely place to be!
Thanx for welcoming me!

before lightoftheday

Just before night changes into light,

The wren is having his breakfast at the pond.
Yesterday I missed him for a photo, for he is so very quick...
that he 's gone before I can grab my camera.
the same today.

too less light to make a photo.
yet so much delight to see him again.
Thats why a 'moving' picture of my wren..

possibly the same one, that sat recently in my livingroom.
