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.

Banded Wren

The Banded Wren is a small wren of the family Troglodytidae found in dry forest and dense scrub from Mexico to Costa Rica. Weighing about 18.2g with a wingspan of 12.8cm, it has boldly barred flanks and white-streaked upperparts. It forages actively near the ground for insects in tangled undergrowth.
