Bewick's Wren (pronounced Buick's)

According to Greek legend, this species is the king of the birds!

 

As the legend goes: the wren hid on the back of an eagle, and as the eagle soared and soared up and ever upwards, the wren flew high and ever higher, and thus became 'king of the birds'.

 

Twelve centimetres long: long, black-stripped, white-tipped tail, long white streak extend back from the eye, and long beautiful song.
