Singing wren

The pictures below were taken from a small clip Singing wren scratching and fluffing feathers that I posted on Youtube. This little wren is having a good clean/scratch but still manages to sing. It looks like it is struggling with a few fleas too.

Being about 10cm high, wrens are probably going to be the smallest birds you will ever see in your back garden. It is hard to take close shots of them with a camera because they keep jumping from one place to the other when foraging.

Their distinctive feature, apart from their size, is their tail. It looks like someone has pushed a small lollipop stick on their bum.
