Saw what must have been the same one twice today. Both times it had something in its beak and dived headlong into the holly bush which shares space with a clematis, a pyrawotsit and, until yesterday, an unwelcome cherry.
I reckon the wrens are sharing space with the dunnock menage a trois .

Didn't see one but heard one this morning. Very loud, like a little corncrake.
Eh? Are you sure you weren't stood on it's toe
I assure you that no Troglodytes troglodytes were harmed during this encounter !!
It's a well-known fact that pound for pound the wren has an astonishingly loud voice - particularly the 'chiiirrr' which sounds quite corncrake-y, hence my analogy.
Youtube abounds with little vids of wrens shouting their heads off: (shout).
