Great when you don't have to wander far to get a good subject.

Knowing the size of wrens this must be a macro shot! Nicely done David.

Hi Paul, the camera was approx. 4 to 5 feet away from the bird. I waited all afternoon to get this shot and a few more like it in quick succession.

I think this might be a case of 'if you can't beat 'em ....' The only suitable lens I could use is an ancient Vivitar 400mm.

I am struggling to put into words how much I like this.
It must be the perfect image of a garden bird!
A very happily using a K30. My wife says I have too many lenses.

Thank you sincerely and also thank you to everyone else that has commented on this image. It took a long time, a lot of thought and a lot of patience to get this and I am quite proud of it. I don't class myself as an accomplished nature photographer so it's rewarding when a shot works out well!
