Wren

The Wren (Troglodytes troglodytes) is one of many species of Wren found around the world and is the UK's smallest bird weighing in at around 9 grams (0.32oz). It is frenetic, never still for even a moment. Quite common across the UK and very common in northern Britain although numbers can suffer badly in severe winters due to its tiny size. They are known to roost in little balls of a dozen or so to conserve body heat through the night.

OH no! I read that wrong!Duh! There is a decimal in front of that 32 oz. Looked fat, though. :(
