Our youngest volunteer ranger Liberty took this fantastic photo of a wren under the visitor centre yesterday. It’s built a nest under the building by these wires which you can just see in the top left corner, and we’ve seen two chicks peeping out! Wren’s make a domed shape nest out of leaves, grass and moss, and then line it with feathers. The male builds several outer nests, leaving the female to select which one she prefers and add the lining of feathers. Both parents help feed the youngsters and they will leave the nest after 15-20 days.
Thanks for the great photo Liberty!
