you might call them trogloglaydezee trog... Oh whatever, but whether i breezed over the original thread on that subject or not, its a wren plain and simple!
I did a year of latin at school and the only bit i remember was this:
Latin's a dead language, as dead as dead can be, it killed off all the romans and now its killing me!
Now, back on track with the original jist of this thread me thinks.
a few years back there were a pair of blue tits that raised young in a hole in the crossbar of some rugby goals at St Cuthberts High school! Not seen them since.
Interesting story. I had Wrens which successfully nested in my garden a couple of years back in a Blue Tit nest box. It seemed to heavily hidden for the Blue Tits to find but perfect for the skulking Winter Wren. Thanks. Henry.
We have wrens nesting in a climbing rose tree right next to the patio door. At the moment they are feeding young and as the nest is also near to our garden table and chairs, we have been unable to sit out on the one georgeous weekend of the year!!!
Collared Doves are nesting on the brackets supporting satellite dishes at at least 2 sites in Hindley Green - they get predated quite quickly by Magpies though. I'd be interested in hearing any more examples of this. They have tried this in Chadderton in the recent past, too. Apparently it's common in Thetford!

2 weeks ago a pair of Wrens successfully fledged a family from a Great Tit nest box in my garden. I thought this unusual and Peter Johnson suggested I post this and ask if anyone else out there has experienced this or any other unusual wren(or any other bird) nest sites. Cheers Ian
Some name changes just don't work do they...
