The noisiest bird in the garden.

Everything in the garden grew well while we were away so there is a fair amount of trimming and tidying to be done.

In amongst all the foliage it is very difficult to spot the birds but we can hear that they are still around. There is one bird in particular that likes to make his presence heard and that is our resident wren. It is hard to believe that such a tiny bird can make such a lot of noise and keep making it for such long periods.

Collins Field Guide says this: "Astonishingly powerful song (almost all year) long, breathless stream of strident but not unmusical notes and trills. Call loud, stony tit-tit-tit, becoming harsh churr... in alarm"

He might be the noisiest bird in the garden but we love to know he is still around.
