Wren in Residence

It looks as though the Wren is now nesting in the roosting pocket. It is too dark to see inside so from time to time I have taken a flash photo from about fifteen feet away. Up to yesterday there was nothing to be seen inside. The last photo showed a somewhat blurry occupant which looks to me like the feathers of the Wren.

Wren Nest

It is impossibe to focus inside the pouch as it is in complete darkness and I don't want to disturbe Mrs Wren if she is now hatching a few wrenlets.

    Lovely to find the wren nesting; on close scrutiny I'm sure you're right and that is a wren cosily tucked up inside.

    I have one that sings his heart out all and every day somewhere along the bottom of our gardens. But... can't find it!

    Hi John,

    Great stuff, hopefully they will be successful. We had a wren look in our roosting pouch a couple of weeks ago, but it didn't come back. Our roosting pouch is just a couple of metres away from the robin box with chicks in at the moment, so I suspect they wouldn't have got along particularly well anyway :-)

    Excellent news John. I hope you manage to get some pictures of the young ones when they fledge.

    That just looks the perfect nest for a wren and happy to see that all looks well :)

    I'm hoping so Tricia. I though at one stage it had been put off once I started working in the garden.

    I hope so Joe. It makes up for the Great Tit which is still AWOL.
    I should think a Robin wouldn't take kindly to another bird nesting so close.

    I hope so too Keith. I keep puzzling as to how to get some 'automated' photos.

    Hello Glo. I should think there is at least a four inch depth of moss in that roosting pocket. She must have been working for days to build it.

    It seems very promising John and exciting too! I look forward to more developments.
