Wren's Nest
the opening 1.5"
Wrannock or Wirann - Orkney names for the wren
moss, grass stalks,
entirely lined with grey feathers
far larger than it's own
The nest was found in a tangle of fishing net hanging in the porch of the South Schoolhouse, Sanday; built during warm spring days when the door was left open, it had to then stay like that until the fledglings had flown. The same happened when a wren made it's nest in the folds of Saint Malo's cloak and he couldn't wear it for many weeks.
