White Winged Wren

[CMunzel]

The White Winged Wren is much less common than the Superb blue wren which are very common in gardens as well as rural areas. It only lives out on the plains where it is very arid.

What a colourful bird.  It's almost iridescent.   Nice capture.

That's a nice clean backdrop for a bird portrait Cheryl.. what sort of distance was  it from you .. It is a stunning colour as John says and very well captured ... I found this clip of one singing a very  distinctive call ... I see the  females are very  drab in comparison ; a familiar trait in the bird world it seems ......

Excellent shot of a most unusual bird.

Thank you for your comments, Polly. Yes, the male’s colour is striking and definitely out to get attention. I was about 4 metres from it, so quite close. It was with a female feeding in the box thorn bushes and quite absorbed in that.

That colour would certainly stand out from the Superb Wrens Cheryl, well caught!!
