Male Blue Wren

Lucky shot!
I had noticed droppings around but had not seen
one of these flighty birds for months.
Glenn noticed him through the window and I managed
to sneak out of the front door and take this one shot.
I think he may have been eating our pet spiders as he is surrounded by cobwebs.
I have cropped it very close to eliminate the wall of the house as I barely got out of the front door before he was scared off.

Well done Elaine. You have a wonderful capture here.
I find these little wrens are never still.

Many thanks for your kind comments, Hal. Michaeland Terry...pure luck, not good management.
I guess the skill was not letting the fly screen door slam and scare him away.

Dear Yvonne and Hal,
Thank you for your kind comments. I know I have put photographs
of the wrens up before, but I just thought I'd put this one up anyway.
