Humourus Wren

Tweet of the Day: Humorous Wren…do birds have a sense of humour? I'm sure they do…this one must be just having fun…I think he could have landed quite normally  standing  with both feet on the lower reed….but …oh no…if there was a chance to show off he was going to take it…maybe to impress a female wren…I used a bigger format of 8 x 8 inches to paint the extra reeds and give him a more stage like setting to display his skills…I think it works…
