Default OT....bird id required!



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



Oh dear, you really don't know much about birds, do you? Wrens are smaller
than sparrows (DON'T ask what a sparrow looks like - even though the RSPB is
worried that they are in decline!) Wrens are also female SAILORS (Women's
Royal Navy Service) not soldiers.

Anyway, is it a yellowhammer?
