With the icky weather of the last few weeks and everything else going on, I was convinced I'd missed one of my favourite events - seeing the young boys moult into their breeding plumage! I just wasn't looking properly, or in the right places .
Just late to the ball, or whatever, it doesn't matter, he's cute! Just love their sparkling blue fish scale sideburns when they're at this stage
An itchy business this moulting lark, apparently.
He looks like a patchwork quilt ...so delightful aren't they. Can't wait till next month and I should be able to get some photos of my own of wrens when we venture down to Denmark W.A. to visit family.
