Wren Eurasian

Description:

Tiny brown bird that often holds its short little tail cocked up. Often sings from a fairly exposed perch, but at other times rather mouselike, creeping in brambles and understory. As such, can be quite inconspicuous. Favors wooded areas with a dense understory, as well as gardens, hedges in farmland, heathland, and coastal cliffs. Heard much more than seen: song is loud, bright, and musical, a varied series of trills and ringing warbles, repeated. Chipping calls can also give away its presence.

Facts: Wrens will it eat from a bird feeder but instead prefer covered bird table or on the ground. They emit a loud slightly tremulous ‘teet-teet-teet’, or a repeated ‘tee-tee-teech’. Its song is powerful, considering its size, and consists of clear and vigorous trills which are often sustained.
