Lovely photo's there Panter. Our Great tits fledged last Sunday, i think at least 3 made it, sadly one little weak one didn't.

That pic of the three of them on the ledge is a winner

Lovely photos! I'm surprised that they nested there - I find it hard to imagine seeing wrens away from bushes. That's where I've always seen them, fairly close to the ground, darting in and out.

Useless bit of trivia: the French name for wrens is troglodyte. It seems a very big name for a very small bird.

The Latin is Troglodytes troglodytes, even longer. It means cave dweller.

So small they gave it 2 long names!

Thanks all
I was amazed we had them too, we very rarely get Wrens in the garden at all!
I'm lucky enough to see a lot of Wrens when out fishing, they're always flitting around in the thick bankside vegetation, didn't really expect them to go for a nestbox on a garden fence!

Brilliant! Our neighbour's Blue Tits fledged yesterday, sadly I think one fledged right into a cat's mouth
