I saw three in different places that day. In fact an alternative name for our spcies is 'Winter Wren', though of course they are here all year round.Ralph Hancockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11686354797977020917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278510471239667560.post-57274049334368372872015-01-02T03:38:00.218+00:002015-01-02T03:38:00.218+00:00Ralph, lovely you got a photo of the wren there. ...Ralph, lovely you got a photo of the wren there. I saw it at the same place when I was last in London, but no photo. Lovely you got it, in winter no less. This wren looks so very much like our Bewick's Wren here in California (but half-sized and shorter tail) that I'm a bit predisposed towards favoring it. Lovely photos.Johanna van de Woestijnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16045404955308369929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278510471239667560.post-12498807032925839802015-01-01T21:58:41.098+00:002015-01-01T21:58:41.098+00:00Thank you all.
