Outside of the house next door is a bird feeder. Whether it is the work of mischievous squirrels or careless humans, a lot of bird seed ends up scattered across the courtyard floor.
A lot of bird seed, of course, attracts a lot of birds. It is not unusual for me to turn the corner into the courtyard and see an entire nibbling flock scatter themselves into flight for safety.
Today these nervous Nellies (who startle quite easily, I must say) took refuge in a nearby tree as I passed by until the coast was once again clear.
Though there were probably a hundred of them hanging out there, this row of wrens stood out from the crowd.
