As I wandered amongst the bullrushes that line the edges of Swan Lake the other morning I became aware of what sounded like a large bird belting out a lusty territorial song. After some time I discovered that this volume of sound was actually coming from a very small bird, this little Marsh Wren (Cistothorus palustris).

Wonderful capture. Sure looks like she's belting out a song. And, it looks like maybe she's been busy making a nest with that fuzzy substance wrapped around her back claws.
She's so pretty!!!!
It's going to be a gorgeous weekend; I can't wait to see what offerings you'll have for us tomorrow!
I've seen these birds. It's amazing, the volume of song they pump out of those tiny lungs...
Great close-up of an amazing little guy in action, belting out their beautiful song.
We have a near identical one singing in the trees on the inner harbour.
Even with zoom, you must have gotten quite close for this.
One of your best yet, Benjamin !
That's perfect timing! Great shot. Love the green background.
Hope to see you on Norwich Daily Photo soon. Have a great weekend!
Wonderful detail! Very, very pretty :)
