Woodland Wren

[Charlie]

I have not posted on here in ages as I seem to have lost my mojo a bit. That & being stupid busy at work! I will try to post a bit more often as this is a very good forum with lots of good people on board.

I took this shot of a wren in a wood that I have been working in for the last 3 years. I think the wildlife now accept me as part of the scene. They do not like the chainsaw noise though!

Hi Charlie,

A very warm welcome back to the fold, we have missed you.

The Wren, the most elusive of our birds, so fast too...........I recall, trying to capture a decent shot of one during my regular field walks years ago.......all I achieved were blurred shots as it flitted of at high speed......mind you, my old Bridge Camera was a noisy beast.

The focus here is spot on.

Great shot; lovely colour palette!

Beautiful shot. A lovely catchlight in the eye, and as Martyn says, a lovely colour palette. These little birds are so shy, you did well to get a photo of him at all, let alone such a nicely composed and sharp one.

Thanks for your thoughts & taking the time to comment. I think the mojo may be returning as I was seeing pictures on my wander through the woods this morning.  The wren was shot as I sat in a special place waiting for Red Squirrels to come out to play.

Glad you came back and shared this lovely shot with us.
I don't see them very often and when I do, they are always too fast for me.
Brilliant capture.

Perfect camouflage!

Brilliant capture.

Thank you for the welcome back. I am hoping to get going again in photography very soon.

Wrens are very fast & I have had many failed efforts. This one must have taken pity on me & stayed still just long enough to let me take a shot.

Lovely shot of this little bird and it's camouflage.

Lovely shot, Charlie, and welcome back from me too. The detail and colour in the foliage of this one is just beautiful when viewed large - look forward to seeing more
