tiny brown wren

beak full of dried grass

sleek

young

frentic

building a nest

in the snake skin acer


her mate

older

a flash of deep blue

joins in her labours

twittering loudly


thier nest at ground level

concealed in the grass

art in the making

thier fledglings doomed

sweet surprise those fairy wren fledgelings made it out of the nest onto the wing....


the ones from the ground level nest in my lawn


the family now tours my garden with a very panic ridden young mother bird calling if i get too close Lol


yeah they left the nest a little while ago, i started stumbling across them as a family group it is so lovely


it was very quick maturation i was surprised


but i guess its all in keeping with that they as a bird live a very fast life
