Jenny

Another day of shower-dodging. Some friends came round and took me to a lovely park which I seldom get to because it's right over the other side of the city. It started very pleasantly, but then the heavens opened. I waited it out and was rewarded with some pleasant sunshine and some good views of the parkland birds, including this wren which was busy nest building in a hole in the tree. I like the old tradition of giving birds familiar names, some of which have survived as part of their common names - Jack-daw, Mag-pie Robin (redbreast), but for some reason, Jenny Wren seldom uses her familiar name nowadays. I think it suits her perfectly.
