The wren’s lost his crown
In the thorns and the fern.
Now redbreast is king,
And spring will return!

But where is the wren?
Where is Dreoilín?
He flies through the bushes,
Doesn’t want to be seen.

A pigeon looks on at
A blue-tit in branches,
The ducks and the swans,
Sail past in huge tranches.

A goose looks me over,
With a dubious glare,
And then a grey heron
Takes off in the air.

A moorhen steps bravely
Alone on the ice,
Some seagulls do likewise
But can launch in a thrice.

A seagull soars high
As a sparrow looks on,
The blue-jay sings loudly
His intricate song.

A magpie, a blackbird,
A tit in a tree,
But nowhere I look
That wee wren can I see.

On #LáAnDreoilín,
By the moor and the bog,
I went to hunt the wren,
In wind and rain and fog.

Chaitheamar an Nollag in iarthar Chiarraí (Fionn Trá) cúpla uair agus bhí Lá an Dreoilín iontach ar fad. Ní fhaca mé a leithéid riamh roimhe sin!

"Tá trácht ag go leor scríbhneoirí ar Lá an Dreoilín thar na blianta. Ciallaíonn an focal ‘dreoilín’ cleasaí...
Many writers have commented on Wren Day over the years. The word ‘wren’ means trickster..."

Lá an Dreoilín - 26th December
The Wran, the Wran, the king of all birds.
On St Stephen’s Day I was caught in the furze.
Although I am little my family is great,
Rise up landlady and give us a trate.

It's St. Stephen's Day but for certain parts of the country, it's Wren Day! Find out all about this ancient Irish tradition on my blog:

In UK its Boxing Day, when tradesmen and servants got their Christmas box.
Nothing like that for agricultural labourers. Interesting to see this #WrenDay in Suffolk to fill that gap.

Among yellow autumn leaves, a wren darts. A small round body, short beak and a darker stripe back from its eye.
The day after Christmas.
St Stephen's Day (the day on which Good King Wenceslas looked out).
And also Lá an Dreoilín, Wren Day.
This little guy, spotted recently, will be left to enjoy the day in peace!

A costumed figure runs along a damp street during a bustling winter festival. His clothing is a layered patchwork of frayed fabrics in muted browns and greens. Torn trousers bunch at the knees, and a tattered coat hangs unevenly from his frame. Straw and reeds are tied around his boots and ankles, flaring with each stride. His face is painted pale with darkened creases that deepen his gaunt, expressive features, and long, disordered hair spills from beneath a battered hat adorned with leaves, twigs, and small feathers. He grips two messy bundles of green branches and thin sticks, clutched close as he moves. Behind him, storefronts painted in warm reds, yellows, greens, and purples create a bright backdrop. Winter greenery and wreaths hang above doors and windows, framing the crowd of bundled onlookers who blur into the background. The scene feels cold, bustling, and celebratory, capturing the folkloric energy of Wren Day in motion.

Wren Boys
Historically, and up until the mid-20th century in many parts of rural Ireland, groups of men and boys hunted a wren on Saint Stephen's Day.

In Ireland it's #WrenDay, when "wren-boys" go from house to house, carrying a holly bush adorned with figures of birds, singing:
"The wren, the wren, the king of all birds,
#StStephensDay was caught in the furze,
Although he is little, his family's great,
I pray you, good landlady, give us a treat."

Ah, there’s that rascal Dreoilín,
The flighty little wren!
And in his wake the red robin,
So spring will come again.

Wood pigeons aloft are squawking,
As grey geese wet their feet.
A Parliament of Fowls is talking
More sense than Kildare Street.

Two swans abreast, a magpie broadcasts,
A heron stands watch by the stream.
High in a tree, a pigeon at last
Stirs and awakes from its dream.

The jay in his tree, a crow on the grass,
A blackbird rakes in the leaves,
A tit in the branches high above,
But not one wren can I see.

One winter’s day, my course was set,
To tramp the grey, the cold, the wet,
All through the bog, and o’er the fen,
To hunt #AnDreoilín, the wren.

The wren, the wren
The King of All birds
St. Stephen was caught in the furze.
Although he was little
His honour was great
Jump up me boys and give him a treat
Up with the kettle and done with the pan
And give us a penny to bury the wren
