Eurasian Wren

Troglodytes troglodytes

Eurasian Wren

A tiny, round-bodied songbird found in dense hedgerows, woodland undergrowth, gardens, and scrub across much of Eurasia. It creeps and hops through cover with its tail cocked, picking small insects, spiders, and other invertebrates from bark, leaf litter, and crevices. Despite its size, it is energetic and surprisingly bold, often scolding intruders with sharp calls from hidden perches. Males build several domed nests of moss and leaves, with females choosing one for breeding.
