Marsh Wren

Cistothorus palustris

We live a few kilometres away from a large bog and there are many other marshes nearby. In the spring they host a large number of these Wrens who sing a surprisingly long and loud song for such a small bird. We caught this bird singing in a marsh just outside the Reiffel Bird Sanctuary, about 22km west of our home.
