Eurasian Wren
Troglodytes troglodytes
Gærdesmutten er en fugleart i gærdesmuttefamilien. Den måler 9,5-12 centimeter og er med sine 8-13 gram Danmarks næstmindste fugl efter fuglekongen.
Very small, 9–12 cm, rufous brown above and greyer below with indistinct darker barring. The mark is the short tail, almost always held cocked upright; plus a cream-buff and a dark brown bill.
Voice
Calls with a sharp "tic-tic-tic", over and over, which runs into a hard churr when the bird is agitated. Its song pours out in a loud, shrill, clear rush full of tinkling trills — weight for weight ten times louder than a cockerel — and is heard year-round.
