[Leica] IMG: House Wren/Troglodyte

[douglas.sharp at gmx.de (Douglas Sharp)]

I thought it meant cave dweller - never saw a Wren (or a Chimpanzee for 
that matter,when I used to go spelunking in the Yorkshire Dales (for the 
unititiated - potholing or caving i.e. speleology) just lots of water 
and mudand a dead sheep every now and again :-)
Cheers
Douglas
