‘I'm slightly curious & concerned why the leader of the free world who's got so many challenges in the Middle East, in Ukraine, issues around the climate, trade, is spending time talking about me, & giving the impression he's obsessed with me & for him, it’s to explain why"

Less than 2.5 secs of the Wren's morning, slowed down.
Always investigating, peering & calculating the odds.
As the temperature falls, the wren looks for aquatic invertebrates more & more.
Freshwater shrimps (amphipods), must be rich in proteins & other nutrients you would imagine.
