I Saw Something Move Out Of The Corner Of My Eye

And hey. It was a wren. It really was. I haven't seen a wren for ages. How fast they move. 

Ailz says she used to think wrens were female robins.

I like that idea. The mythology would support it.

Yes indeed. Reading around this post before putting it up I found two nursery rhymes (both new to me) about cock robin courting Jenny Wren.

Beautiful little birds- we also have goldcrests hereabouts and they're tinier still (although not a native species).
