Hard Times (Troglodytes troglodytes)

Was at Leighton Moss on Wednesday hoping to see the Bitterns do a spot of ice skating. As it turned out the conditions proved too so bad that everywhere was frozen solid, to the extent that the Bitterns had to be fed at some secret area. Anyway I managed some other birds, one being this Wren which I've really struggled with so this is probs my best effort yet.

Thanks everyone, although you can't see it because I've done a wider crop there's still a wee bit of movement blur going on. This was the first real opportunity for me where I was already set up and one just happnened to come my way close enough.

Regards.
