i must admit that im not a bird watcher and wouldn't have a clue what a wren
is! (wasn't a wren a female solder or somat?) lol! it was very
small...smaller that a ladies fist when perched. max of 3 inches tall. it
was only there for a minute so i am trying to recall its markings. it was a
light green mostly but with very bright yellow or lime coloured markings.
apparently my girlfriend has seen 2 more today! couldn't see anything
similar on that website...but will keep looking! and yes i am in the uk!
(this being a uk ng an'all!) lol
