what a gorgeous wren. Very striking male plumage.

We certainly have a variety of Wrens in this region

Poor female comes second fiddle, but still lovely little bird.

Great series, I find that Wrens in general are quite flighty creatures that favour dense undergrowth making them a challenging subject to get decent photos of.

Such beautiful colours.

With only the plain old winter wren here in the UK I'm a teeny bit jealous of the lovely coloured wrens that you have down there. They are definitely something I'd be looking for if ever I make to that part of the world. Nice photos!
