Nature Fact

The Wren  is a delightful plump little bird with a short, jaunty, upright tail,  that feels at home in most places.  The hedgerow is no exception for it delights in examining every crack and crevice, fallen leaf, twig or stone in its ceaseless search for a succulent insect or spider - which, apart from the occasional seed, form its main diet.  The familiar call of ‘tic-tic-tic’ in a deafening loud voice is out of proportion to its diminutive size.  Another astonishing feat performed by this little bird is its ability to reach up to peck above its head by simply stretching its neck in a quite un-wren-like manner.
