Eurasian Wren - Troglodytes troglodytes

This is the tiny Eurasian Wren - Troglodytes troglodytes - which, while not the smallest bird in the UK, is the shortest and is the only member of the wren family to be found in Eurasia and Africa. Commonly known as simply the Wren, it is a plump little thing which can grow up to 9-10cm (3.5-3.9in) in length and has a wingspan of 13-17cm (5.1-6.7in). It has a very loud voice for one so small (the loudest of any British bird and ten times louder weight for weight than a cockerel) and its songs can last for many seconds. They are difficult to photograph because they are constantly on the move searching for insects and flitting around from place to place. I managed to catch this one at Pennington Flash.
