Yay, took me a few moments but found it, they are lovely birds to watch.
Nice looking onions too
Thanks JayB. Give the others a clue, I can't work out how to repost with a circle!
Ninny
2/3rds across (left to right) and about 1/2 way up or down, depends which way you view it!
Got it ;)
Ninny
I think I need new glasses!
You are not on your own Betty ;D
I think I found 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......
Thanks Betty! I've spent hours looking for the d..n thing, and don't have the techie skills to do what you did.....why didn't I just go outside and watch my own wren?
Cheers Betty. See you outside the shop ;D
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 :)

I think I had better come too. Are you sure there a bird there it hasn't moved ;D

Not a very neat circle ::) but it's in there.
Just spent nearly half an hour working out how to get that far!

Hi JayB,
I knew where it was but I couldn't crop the picture as Betty did ::), but thank you for giving the clues.

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
marg
it looks like a mouse to me! ;D ::)

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.

Rach, maybe a bigger magnifying glass needed ;D

Mine posed for me but, unfortunately, my camera does not pick out the detail.

Looks like a willow warbler. When was the pic taken? They're long-distance migrants which haven't been recorded as overwintering here, but the very closely related chiffchaff (which has dark-coloured legs) does.
I couldn't see the wren even with glasses, but why has this screen and all the other screens on this site gone so big, and I never touched anything, honest????

No, it's definately a wren Robert; he or she is always in my garden. The willow warbler is a different shape having a much longer tail. The picture was taken on 1st December.
See http://www.rspb.org.uk/wildlife/birdguide/name/w/wren/index.aspx
Defo a wren Robert, look at the tail.
Wrens as female robins? Dunnock and robin are almost identical other than the red breast, and you can't tell the young apart - was it the dunnock, not the wren, that was thought to be a femal robin?
That's a lovely picture Paulines7, I can just about make out the mottling on the tail. Defo a wren.
Our one broke cover this week again but I was too slow with the camera :(
