Whilst taking a short break in my caravan at Incleboro Fields Caravan Club Site, West Runton, Norfolk in May 2010, I decided to go for a quiet walk through the site, taking my camera with me. As I walked I could hear a loud piercing shrill and crept towards the sound. A bulbous little wren was singing his heart out, perched on top of a foxglove! I noticed the sunlight beaming across the scene and immediately wanted to paint a picture! However, in the few seconds it took me to put the camera to my eye, the wren saw me and flitted away out of sight. Nevertheless, I snapped the foxglove and surrounding vegetation and remembered that I had a similar shot of a wren amongst my myriad photographs, and also found another wren piccy, both birds having been incumbent to my little wild garden at different times. Thank you to Alan Adams for allowing me to pick his foxgloves for live specimens. [P1108. 350 Limited Edition Print, A3]
