Eurasian Wren
Dense undergrowth in woodlands, gardens, hedgerows, and rocky areas. Prefers tangled vegetation close to the ground.

Eurasian Wren
Eurasia from Iceland and western Europe to Japan. The only wren species found outside the Americas.

About These Birds
Blue Jay
アオカケスは鮮やかな羽毛と大きな鳴き声で知られるカラス科の大胆で知能が高い鳥。アオカケスは毎秋数千個のドングリを蓄えることでカシの木の重要な散布者となっている。複雑な社会的行動には、給餌器から他の鳥を追い払うためにタカの声を真似ることも含まれる。
Eurasian Wren
ヨーロッパ最小クラスの鳥の一つで、体の大きさに不釣り合いな大きな声で鳴く。民話では鳥の王様とされる。
