Jenny or is it Jimmy Wren



How do you tell difference in sexes of Wrens?  I managed to get this photo after many days of him/her hiding in the bushes along the Montgomery Canal.

    Sandy - think the sexes are alike so don't think it's possible! Your choice as to whether you think of it as a Jenny or a Jimmy!!

    Well you can sex chicks so I guess you could wrens too (?); a bit hard to get a grip on though!

    I`ll stick to calling them all Jenny then and risk offending if its Jimmy.
