2/3rds across (left to right) and about 1/2 way up or down, depends which way you view it!

It's been driving me mad so I saved the photo, enlarged it, then cropped it!   Yes, I know, way too much time on my hands!

Shirl and I are off to Specsavers now......

Well done Betty!

I'll come clean now...........it took me an age to find it once I'd downloaded the piccy (even with my Specsaver glasses on!).  It was checking out the greenhouse when I first spotted it so I grabbed the camera hoping for a piccy in there, then it flew out and I saw it land and just hoped I'd captured it  :)

Not a very neat circle  ::) but it's in there.

Just spent nearly half an hour working out how to get that far!

re wrens I heard that it used to be thought that a wren was a female robin and I can see why as I watched one going around my wildlife pond from my window
it was too fast for me to grab a camera I'm afraid

Hi Marg, I think the tail is a pointer for the difference, wren's tails are so short and stubby. Also the way they move around the garden, very short jumps rather than flying as such.
