Wren Family 2007-06-07 16:12:00 There is a wren family nesting in our garden. Today around 18:00 mother and 4 babies came just front of our kitchen door. We were standing and watching her feeding babies. They were so close to us and one nearly came in our kitchen. Mother was picking caterpillars and giving to their mouths. At the same time babies were packing at the soil but getting nowhere. They looked very exciting and happy. They were jumping in the bush from branch to branch and calling their mom all the time.
