One of
the most interesting birds on St Kilda is the St Kilda
wren. It is different from the wren which lives on the
mainland of Britain. The St Kilda wren is a little heavier
with longer wings and with a longer, thicker bill and
legs than the mainland wren. It is paler and has more
stripes. It has a slightly different song and lays larger,
heavier eggs. All these things may help the St Kilda
wren to live on wet & windy St Kilda. |
