The Eurasian Wren (Troglodytes troglodytes) is a very small bird with a very strong voice.

Americans might recognize this bird as similar to their Winter Wren or Pacific Wren, those used to be considered sub-species of the Eurasian Wren but in 2010 (based on vocalizations and genetics) they were split into three species.

This one was photographed in August in Amsterdam.

        The royal reference might have surprised you. It’s just that the wren’s German common name is king of the fence (Zaunkรถnig). ๐Ÿ™‚
