I have always loved observing and photographing Eurasian wrens. I had photographed them many times perched on twigs, but catching one in flight had always been a challenge – they are exceptionally agile birds, darting quickly from one perch to another and constantly on the move through dense undergrowth. During a trip to Spain, I finally managed to capture this bird in flight. After many attempts using a very short exposure time, I photographed it just as it flew off the branch, its tiny wings widely spread like a delicate fan. Despite weighing only around 10 grams, wrens are full of energy and charm, proving that even the smallest birds can leave a big impression. No wonder that the wren is known as the “king of the birds” in the European folklore.
