007 secret agent
30th December 2020
I am rather prone to naming my subjects after investing many hours watching and getting to know them. I try to pick a name that somehow resonates with their personality, behaviour and nature.
Consequently, I have named my garden wrens 007. Not that they come armed to kill or even dressed to thrill but more that they secret agents of surprise and carry a certain amount of panache. Well, at least I think so.
Not easy to predict when or where they will appear from as they tend to jump and twitch as if they are dodging an assassins shot. Dressed in underwhelming brown plumage blending in with the crowd, Wrens will scurry into the undergrowth for cover whilst no doubt on a mission of the upmost importance, before reappearing calm, sophisticated and a picture of nonchalance a distance away.
I can't help being won over by 007 and rather coincidently the file number for my home page image is actually 3007, so that seems rather apt!
