A small stocky brown bird.
Almost dumpy.
With a loud voice that belies her size.
She trembles as she sings.
She doesn’t fly far and usually travels in a straight line
but lives at a restless pace.
They are the make do and menders of the bird world
and often use garden junk
as a base for their cosy feather lined, domed nests.
Not afraid to fight for a spot,
he builds
and she lines the inside.
Apart from this their bond is loose.
Bursting with energy
they haplessly build more nests than they’ll need
often in view of predators.

We have a resident wren who keeps an eye on me when he flits in and out of the leylandii. You have obviously met his cousin.
