Fisherman Mike Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 (edited) troglodytes troglodytes... Not that rare in fact...numbers down in the last two or three winters though... Very badly effected by Winter Cold, it decimates the population... Buzzards dont eat them, Wood pigeon is possibly the commonest bird in Britain currently, followed by Chaffinch and Blackbird.. http://www.bto.org/sites/default/files/u16/downloads/reports/bbsreport10.pdf Edited July 31, 2012 by Fisherman Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reece Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 It's definitely a wren. Its a wren they are getting quit rare these days No they're not rare. They are one of the most numerous birds in Britain. You just don't see them often, because they stay in undergrowth close to the ground. Sometimes, if you only get a glimpse, you can mistake them for mice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muggins. Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 It's a wren but I find it funny how people are saying they are rare? They are actually the most numerous bird in Britain!! [/quote) Agreed. You`ve just got to look for them. I moved our feeders away from outside the kitchen window because of the mice, now we often see a wren flitting around in the Fuchsias beneath the feeders picking up the dropped seeds and bits.

poontang Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 Two fingered Jenny is what i call them anybody no why ? Jenny Wren was a short story by Charles Dickens. Not sure about the two fingers though? Maybe best not to ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a youngster collecting eggs two fingers was all you could get in the entrance hole to see if there was any eggs inside , hence the two fingered jenny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
