Yesterday I was able to get some pictures of a bird that I absolutely love to watch. The Marsh Wren is a hyperactive little guy that can really belt out a song. It's the first time I've really every been able to get any decent shots of one. For me, it's always been tough to get close enough to these guys (they are so tiny), and separate them from the background......yester​day I lucked out.

Excellent shots. A pair of Wrens nest in my neighbours garden and as you say, they make a lot of noise for a small bird.:D
