Male wrens build multiple nests to attract a mate, so don't worry if you see a nest built which isn't used. Doesn't mean the wren is dead, just that the jenny wren was picky.
Thanks, I had googled!
There is loads of info online, but I just wondered if anyone locally had more specific knowledge.
It looks like it's probably too early for it to nest, but nevertheless I don't want to drive it away, as I like having birds in my garden!
I've just seen a wren in my garden ❤️
I haven't seen one there for years, though of course it may have been there, just hiding.
Unfortunately it seems I may have left it too late to cut back my thug of a Holboellia.
I just googled (re the wren, not the Holboellia) but I'm still unsure. I don't want to drive the wren away if it's about to build a nest in there (or has one already).
Can anyone who knows more about wrens than me advise?
Also, as the Holboellia flowers have a wonderful scent later on, I probably should have cut it back after it flowered last year 🙄
