Wednesday's Peninsula Breakfast Briefing
By The Editor
19th Apr 2023 | Local News
Wednesday's wonderful fact:
Despite being so small the wren is one of the loudest birds in the garden. The wren is a tiny brown bird, although it is heavier and not as slim as the even smaller goldcrest. It is dumpy, almost rounded, with a fine bill, quite long legs and toes, very short round wings and a short, narrow tail which is sometimes cocked up vertically. Listen to its song here...
