A Good time for Wrens

With Spring kicking in it is a great time to photograph Wrens. These birds usually spend their time in hedgerows and are often quite elusive.
However, now that their hormones are kicking in the males are setting up breeding territories. In order to define and protect these the male will sing and usually does so from a high vantage point. This means they are more often in the open, also as they are preoccupied with singing I find they are more tolerant of a closer approach.

Below are some photos taken recently a local nature reserve.
