King of my castle!
In Dutch we call these little wrens winterkoning / king of winter.
Winter may be gone, this little wren is still royalty here!

Eurasian wren (Troglodytes troglodytes) sitting on top of a branch with some big leaves. As the second smallest bird of Europe, all the leaves on this tree are bigger than it, but it still exerts a royal air with its pose.

A selection of today's songbirds at #Bloeidaal #Amersfoort. It was a warm and sunny day and many a bird chitter-chatter filled the air. The bluethroat was today's lifer :)

A Eurasian Wren (Winterkoning) is making a nest in our backyard. Apparently they're not that rare but I had never seen one until we moved here. I read that the male will make several nests and the female will then choose the best one, so it's not certain that they will end up laying eggs in this one but I'm still excited 😄

This afternoon I finally managed to get some good shots of a eurasian wren or #winterkoning in Dutch when it was sunbathing. And here is also a photo of a robin that is pretending to be one.

Eurasian wren (Troglodytes troglodytes) sitting on a branch, its rear facing the camera and its face looking towards the left. It has a very short tail which is held erect, a short neck and a relatively long thin bill.

European robin (Erithacus rubecula) sitting on a branch seen from its side and facing to the left. It mimics the common pose that the Eurasian wren is known for, it holds its tail upwards, wings tight and to the back and its head pointing slightly down.

Ohh, ik bof weer! Net voor het eerst een winterkoninkje kunnen fotograferen in onze tuin 🥰

Ik had hem wel al eerder heel kort gezien, maar nu bleef hij lang genoeg zitten om mijn camera snel te pakken. Hij was ook zo weer weg. Hopelijk komt ie nu wat vaker op bezoek 😊

Het winterkoninkje, mijn favoriete vogeltje. Misschien omdat ze wat onhandig fladderen of omdat het van die kleine bolletjes veren zijn ...
In ons vorige huis in Groningen zag ik ze veel, hier heb ik ze helaas nog niet gezien.
Fotograaf is mij niet bekend.

In #februarivogelmaand is vandaag de #WinterKoning aan de beurt. Super snel. Moeilijk te fotograferen. Veel in de klimop. @Vera32 🪶🧡🐦

Goedemorgen! Het is de kleine maar loeihard zingende #winterkoning, die de vogel van de dag is in #februarivogelmaand van @Vera32@mastodon.nl Wat is het toch een leukerdje! #naturephotography #birds #birdphotography
