Jenny Wren (lemmy.world)

Reading, UK Canon R6 + 800mm. Grey day, so only 1/800s, ISO4000

It always amuses me that once there were the Wren and Redbreast. Then there were Jenny Wren and Robin Redbreast (who famously got married). But then we ended with the commonest names being Wren and Robin. Tom Tit, and Maggie Pie are more of the same types of naming.

Oh, and a bonus
