Pembrokeshire Avifauna committee in Mathew, Wren, breeding, passerine, resident

Troglodytes parvulus

A common resident, very abundant in our grounds, where we used to detect numerous nests. One we found was lined with the feathers of a Sparrow Hawk's breast, so the birds had evidently availed themselves of one that had been shot in an adjoining plantation. A pair of Wrens passed the whole of one severe winter in one of our green-houses where they seem to have found plenty of food.
