Wren Troglodytes troglodytes
Despite being Britain's most common bird the Wren lives unseen much of the time, lurking in thick vegetation and constantly on the move. I am always delighted to see one if only fleetingly as was the case here when I watched this one springing speedily through a dense hedge. Poised for a mere moment with tail cocked this tiny ball of energy (weighing less than 15g) gave me the opportunity to appreciate the subtleties of its beautifully patterned plumage and pace of its world.
Thank you all for your kind responses.
