About These Birds
Eurasian Wren
The Eurasian wren is one of the smallest birds in Europe but possesses an astonishingly loud song for its size. Males build multiple dome-shaped nests, from which the female selects one to line and use. In British folklore, the wren is known as the king of birds for outwitting the eagle in a flying contest.
Bar-winged Wood-wren
The Bar-winged Wood-wren is a small wren of the family Troglodytidae found in humid montane forests on the eastern Andean slopes of Peru and Bolivia. Weighing about 13.75g with a wingspan of 10.8cm, it has white-barred wings and richly patterned brown-and-white plumage. It skulks in dense undergrowth near the forest floor, feeding on insects.
