This is a companion to my other Bird of the Day blog, which focuses on birds I have seen in Victoria, Canada.

With the amount of time we have been spending in London lately, I decided it was time to get out my camera and broaden my knowledge of birds of England.

Eurasian Wren

Troglodytes troglodytes


Appearance:
Tiny bird
Rufous brown above
Greyish below
Dark brown and grey bars
Dark brown bill
Pale brown legs 

Listen to it’s call.


This is the only member of the wren family found in Europe or for that matter outside of Americas. If you think the Eurasian Wren looks identical to the Pacific Wren found in North America, you aren’t alone. In fact, they were considered the same species until 2010.
