nashwan ' s next task was to prove himself against older opposition , starting with the eclipse stakes over one and a quarter miles at sandown park on 8 july . despite having recently recovered from a foot infection and facing both the outstanding racemare indian skimmer and the champion miler warning , he was sent off the 2 / 5 favourite . [ 10 ] nashwan took the lead approaching the final furlong and won by five lengths from the outsider opening verse , who later won the breeders ' cup mile . [ 11 ] two weeks later , nashwan contested britain ' s most prestigious all - aged race , the king george vi and queen elizabeth stakes over one and a half miles at ascot . with the late withdrawal of prix du jockey club winner old vic , nashwan was expected to win easily and started as 2 / 9 favourite . this time he had to fight for his victory , with old rival cacoethes challenging him throughout the final two furlongs . nashwan was driven out by carson to win by a neck , with the subsequent prix de l ' arc de triomphe winner carroll house a further eleven lengths back in fifth . [ 12 ] his narrow margin of victory lead some critics to question his status as a " super - horse " . [ 13 ]

prince charlie ( 1869 out of eastern princess by surplice ) was bred by mr . h . jones of littleport , cambridgeshire , although foaled in france while his dam was overseas being bred . he is one of many examples of blair athol ' s best nick , with mares from the touchstone line . prince charlie was owned by joseph dawson ; and trained by his brother matt dawson . he was a very big , grand - looking , blazed - face chestnut like his sire , which may have led to his great popularity . in two starts at two , prince charlie won the middle park plate beating laburnam by a head ; and the criterion stakes over nuneham and cremorne .

there has been a great deal of nasty talk in sporting circles as to the result of the university boat race . it was well - known that the bookmakers would have been hard hit had oxford won , and this ha« given rise to tho report that certain of the dark blue 3 were bought . others say that the two crews arranged between themselves to finish together in order to discourage betting on the event , and to baulk certain members ot the ring . it is of course needless to say that both these stories are utterly false , but the fact of their having been originated shews what heavy stakes are risked on the race . a writer in " truth " suggests that the venue of the affair should be changed every year , and names lakes windermera and bala as suitable courses .

wo have had a surfeit of racing since i last wrot . . there have been meetings all over england , but i can only refer to these at northampton , newmarket , and epsom . the principal event at the lirst named reunion is the spencer plate , a live - furlong race . on tho 3rd of april eighteen runners were telegraphed , poursivunt , who ran second for the lincolnshire handicap , being favourite at sto 1 ; cceruleus ( a brother to blue gown ) , who won the shropshire handicap in 1875 , and the newmarket handicap in ls7ti , waa next in demand , and several others were hacked .

the althorp park stakes for two - year - olds was won by a well bred youngster named hudibras . lord olive , a brother to warren hastings being second . on the second day of the meeting the northamptonshire stakes drew twelve to the post , old scamp , the croydon hurdleikace winnei . being first favourite at sto 2 with sst . 41b . he ran very well , but tiring under the heavy weight , could get no nearer than third to tha lightly weighted . queen of cyprus ( 6st . 101b ) , who scampered in 30 lengths in front of talisman ( bst . slbs ) . the fidy belongs to tom jennings , the trainer , and ■ \ * - as backed at 4to 1 , but talisman was a rank outsider .

tiie most , remarkable feature of the newmarket craven meeting was the extraordinary success of the champion jockey archer , who , on the third day of the meeting rode the winner of every race but one .

that sapient body , the jockey club , met and reduced the lowest weight in handicaps from 53t . tibs , to ist . 71bs . i need not point out avhat a foolish retrograde step this is . epsom spring meeting was thoroughly well patronised , the ring presenting quite a derby hay appearance . the city and suburban handicaps is one of the heaviest betting races of the year , and as it is usually quite an outsider ' s race , the bookmakers oif . . . r most tempting prices . directly the weights appeared , forerunner and julius cajsar were spotted as good things . balbriggan , 5 years ( gst . 7lbs . ) , avas also voted as well in , and touchet , 3 years ( 6st . ) , on the strength of his lincoln running , found many backers . the day before the race , a report avas circulated that julius caesar wouldbe scratched , but on this being ascertained to be false , his position in the market became very favourable .

julius cassar , it will be remembered , avas wonderfully unlucky for a three - year - old . for although he was placed in the two thousand derby , and st loger , he never got his head lirst past the post .

old lilian came out looking so fresh , to run for the great metropolitan , that she was made faa - ourite at 2 to 1 on a field of six . she ran a - ery well , but could get no nearer than third to the four - year - old john day , ( 7st . 51bs . ) who avas fancied 7 to 2 .

the one thousand guineas for three - a - ear - old fillies seems likely to draw a good field . ' placida not being entered , palm flo aver is faa * ourite . that , once time - honoured contest , the chester cup , will be brought to an issue the week after next . hampton is faa - ourite at 7to 1 , tbe snail and footstep being the only others mentioned as yet .

immediately after the two thousand there will be some heavy speculation on ~ he derby . rob roy remains firm at 10 to 1 .

the annual meeting of the ratepaa * ers of tho whau district will be held in the whau lecture hall , on the evening of the 31 st instant .

hi ! what is known about this stallion and the disposition of his offspring ? i wasn ' t able to find much on line for him . thanks for any help !

mr p and i saw a stallion by that name at the repro clinic where we had a mare . i ' m not into wb ' s , but he seemed nice , hopped of the trailer , did his thing with the phantom , hopped back on the trailer

i wasn ' t always a smurf penmerryl ' s sophie ridsh " i ain ' t as good as i once was but i ' m as good once as i ever was " the ignore list is my friend . it takes 2 to argue .

i think that he injured himself while he was in quarantine and wasn ' t able to have a competition career afterwards . . . i have heard how handsome he is but nothing of his disposition , it sounds like the filly in s4zeu ' s barn is quite nice !

thanks ! my bm is thinking of breeding to him and i told her i would ask about him . . . he sounds great and locke meadows , your filly by him is gorgeous ! ! !

she is gorgeous . i am jealous that your baby looks like she is keeping her solid . the filly at my barn is almost completely grey already .

i have heard him mentioned before but i ' ve never been able to find any contact information for him at all . do they have a website ? can you let me know where he ' s advertised or the owners contact information .

i saw rachel ' s filly at upperville , and she was very nice . i was not familiar with that particular stallion , but was impressed with what i saw .

interesting dressagediosa . . . . . i too have an email where his name is listed . . . .

dam ' s sire is by volturno . dam ' s mother is by admiral

there is no frozen semen available now . why wouldn ' t you want fresh cooled ?

yeah i too have been blown away by this stallion . i have seen him in person and i know tim . he is a very good quality stallion . and tim , has been nothing but nice to me . he is very knowledgable and he does honest work . i am thinking of breeding to him and i am about to be on that same band wagon . .

jessie started riding in the hunter and equitation rings , showing at the national level for virginia tech ; has since moved into the amatuer - owner jumper ring with a passion for all aspects of the equine sport .

for some critics , particularly in the populist five star movement , this is a lurch towards authoritarian government . others complain the reform enhances the influence on national politics of italy’s often corrupt regional governments . recent days have seen claims that the deputy governor of lombardy gave a consultancy contract worth £16 , 000 ( $ 21 , 000 ) a year to his chauffeur and the arrest of a former governor of neighbouring veneto , accused of taking millions for licences to build the barriers that will protect venice from flooding .

some also argue that mr renzi should have secured a broader consensus before submitting his bill to parliament . around 7 , 850 amendments have been tabled in the senate alone . maria elena boschi , the minister sponsoring the bill , claimed the amendments would “make us work an extra week and lose a bit of holiday” . but the reform has much further to go than the costa concordia ( which is being towed 200 nautical miles to a breaker’s yard near genoa ) . ansa , a news agency , calculated that vetting the senate amendments could take three months . then the bill must go to the chamber , and again to both houses . another objection , surprisingly rarely heard in italy , is that its legislators’ time might be better spent on its still - moribund economy : last week , the bank of italy forecast gdp growth of just 0 . 2 % for this year .

the proposed reform is the fruit of a pact in january between mr renzi and mr berlusconi , who still leads the second - biggest party in the senate . the bill’s prospects of approval were greatly enhanced when , on june 18th , a court in milan upheld the media tycoon’s appeal against his convictions for allegedly paying for underage sex with ms el - mahroug and misusing his authority to try to conceal their relationship . seen through the eyes of mr berlusconi and his supporters , who regard the judges as puppets of the left , the successful appeal showed mr renzi was honouring his side of a bargain implicit in the january deal .

the first edition of this summary of house wren biology , prepared in the mid 1990s , said that “house wrens are arguably the most thoroughly studied passerine in north america , in part because they so readily use human - made nest sites , and because they are ubiquitous , relatively abundant across most of their range , and tolerant of human activity . ” now , two decades later , one can readily argue that we know more about the biology of the house wren than any other wild species of bird in the world . new studies have focused on genetics , immunology , energetics and physiology , ecology , demography , reproductive and other behavior , sex allocation , communication , systematics , and more . as of the mid - 2010s , more than 700 research papers , government reports , theses and dissertations had been published that touched on one or more aspects of house wren biology .

a familiar backyard bird , the house wren was named long ago for its tendency to nest around human homes or in birdhouses . very active and inquisitive , bouncing about with its short tail held up in the air , pausing to sing a rich bubbling song , it adds a lively spark to gardens and city parks despite its lack of bright colors . various forms of this wren are found from central canada to southern south america .

main point of confusion is winter wren ; it is smaller , shorter - tailed , more heavily barred on the flanks and crissum , and usually darker . winter and house wrens further distinguished by differences in song , call , timing of migration , microhabitat preferences , and foraging behavior .

house wrens forage by hopping on trunks , branches , or on the ground . they sometimes forages high in trees as well .

house wrens have adapted well to human habitation , frequently using nest boxes or nesting within a variety of objects in accessible outbuildings .

house wren populations have experienced some regional declines , but generally populations have been stable and slightly increased between 1966 and 2015 , according to the north american breeding bird survey . partner ' s in flight estimates a global breeding population of 160 million with 19 % spending some part of the year in the u . s . , 9 % in mexico , and 8 % breeding in canada . the species rates a 5 out of 20 on the continental concern score . house wren is not on the 2016 state of north america ' s birds ' watch list . back to top

but it’s not all about sport . five times a year we run house competitions in poetry , quizzing , benchball , singing ( always popular ! ) and the ‘marble run’ . this last competition is a fun way to put lessons learned in our design and technology department to the test and chimes with our academy specialism , design and the built environment . over the course of wren academy’s growth and evolution , a number of strong interhouse rivalries have come and gone , with particular heads of house being very partisan about how well their house is doing ! leading the houses are a fantastic set of six teachers . listed below are the houses with the name of the current head of house .

house wrens sing with high intensity in periodic bouts prior to pairing and often did the same later in the breeding cycle to attract more partners . their song is described as rapid trills of frequency - modulated notes with an average of ten syllables per bout and around four different types of syllables . the largest recorded repertoire of a house wren is 194 songs , although there is likely no sort of ceiling or limit on the size of its repertoire . however , if you only count the songs that are most used by each male , then the effective repertoire of the average male house wren is about 25 songs ( kaluthota and rendall , 2013 ) . a close phonetic of the male house wren is tsi - tsi - tsi - tsi - oodle - oodle - oodle ( bent 1948 ) . kaluthota and rendall ( 2013 ) also found that only one type of song was shared by all fifteen males , only fourteen songs were shared by more than ten males , and the rest were unique to the individual .

the house wren is a tiny , brown songbird that is commonly found in the backyards of homes across the western hemisphere . anyone can go out on a still , summer day and notice the tiny bodies of feathers zoom past in the underlying shrubs and tree branches . once in a while , a child might find a nest in an old shoe box in his garage after his mom nagged at him to do his chores . the beauty of the house wren is exactly this image : its striking simplicity and lack of presence mixed with quite an intriguing set behaviors found only through careful observation .

house wren chicks are completely helpless and dependant on their parents , who both care for the young . they fledge after about 15 to 17 days and all leave the nest within a few hours of each other . the parents continue to feed them for about 13 days after they leave the nest .

an affinity for open , shrubby wood - lands , mimicked so well by small town and suburban backyards and city parks , a preference for human - made “bird houses , ” and a very loquacious nature all combine to make the house wren one of the best - known songbirds in north america .

a plain brown bird with an effervescent voice , the house wren is a common backyard bird over nearly the entire western hemisphere . listen for its rush - and - jumble song in summer and you’ll find this species zipping through shrubs and low tree branches , snatching at insects . house wrens will gladly use nestboxes , or you may find their twig - filled nests in old cans , boots , or boxes lying around in your garage .

after the eggs hatched this year , i stopped seeing two adults at the same time . maybe one belonged to the minority of male house wrens who switch their attentions to a second mate and family before the first brood is fledged . i heard a wren singing from the other side of the house . that may have been the same male inviting another female to inspect a tipped - over flowerpot tilled with twigs in the tool shed .

there have been occasional reports of house wrens killing young nestlings ( 4 - 5 days old ) or throwing them out of the nest .

house wrens currently occupy the broadest latitudinal range of any native songbird in the new world . house wrens have benefited from the fragmentation of forests across the united states , including washington . this fragmentation increases the shrubby edge habitat that they prefer . they are fairly tolerant of human activity , which makes them well adapted to our increasingly developed landscape . they also seem to benefit from logging , using slash piles and small snags . in some areas in the 19th century , there was a decline of house wrens , which is blamed on the introduction of the house sparrow because they compete for nesting cavities . in washington and north america as a whole , the house wren population has been on the rise since 1966 , increasing an average of 8 . 3 % per year in washington and 1 . 6 % per year in north america , based on breeding bird survey data . this increase may be of concern since house wrens destroy nests of other species , and compete with other , less common cavity - nesters .

in the wild house wrens live in open , shrubby woodlands . however , they were named for their preference for small town and suburban backyards and human - made bird houses . small wood - lots and forest edges are also well known habitats for these birds . human farming and towns have created more good breeding habitat for the wren by fragmenting forests , which explains why the house wren has expanded its range and numbers in north america . during the winter wrens live in thickets , shrubby and brushy areas , riparian forests , and savannas in the southern united states . in mexico , they prefer tropical evergreen and semideciduous forests .

after thoroughly exploring my whole yard , this year ' s male house wren selected the birdhouse hanging under the eaves . the previous spring , wrens nested in a dead limb of our old box elder . one year i found the wrens ' nest in the hollow center of my huge ball of twine in the garden shed . during a childhood summer i spent with grandparents on sauvie ' s island , oregon , house wrens built a nest in the mailbox at the end of the long gravel driveway . for the month until the young birds fledged , the postman brought the mail up to the house every day .

the carolina wren creeps around vegetated areas and scoots up and down tree trunks in search of insects and fruit . it explores yards , garages , and woodpiles , sometimes nesting there . this wren often cocks its tail upward while foraging and holds it down when singing . carolina wrens defend their territories with constant singing ; they aggressively scold and chase off intruders .

perhaps he was correct , for after a few days a female house wren landed in the viburnum near the birdhouse . the male approached her , his short tail pointing straight up . he quivered his wings . he sang . he flew to the door to his treasure of a nest and looked over his shoulder at her .

declined in some areas in 19th century after introduction of house sparrow , which competed for nest sites . currently widespread and common , numbers probably stable .

from a distance , the house wren appears to be a uniform brownish gray . the head , nape , and back are a uniform shade of brown ; the chest and throat are a uniform light gray , sometimes with buffy or brownish tinge . the eyebrow has a distinctive white stripe , and the tail , wings , and flank ( between the ribs and the hip ) have some black and dark brown marks . the plumage is identical between the sexes and no seasonal changes with the male slightly larger than the female in some traits . ( scott 2014 ) . the small and compact figure with a flat head and long , curved beak helps identify the house wren .

for house wren eggs , temperature inside the nest box can be critical to survival . if a sun - drenched nest box warms above about 106 degrees fahrenheit for an hour , the eggs will begin to die . if a cold snap chills a nest below about 65 degrees fahrenheit for more than a day it can also doom the eggs .

we found that house wren offspring sired by extra - pair mates were significantly more likely to be male than were offspring sired by within - pair mates . to our knowledge , this is the first study to find a significant male bias among offspring in the event of extra - pair fertilization , when sexing has been done using molecular methods .

house wren : breeds from southern canada southward to central california , central new mexico , northern arkansas , and northern georgia . other forms are found from mexico southward throughout south america and the west indies . winters in the southern u . s . and mexico . preferred habitats include open woodlands , forest edges , forest openings , shrubby areas and farmlands .

even if no bird house is offered , these birds are likely to find somewhere or something to nest in even if no man - made housing is available .

ludgate - st . martin’s ludgate there has been a church on or near this site since the twelfth century . the last incarnation of the medieval church on the site was destroyed by the fire of london in 1666 , only 40 years after it had last been repaired ! as with all the wren churches , they form part of the mandate given to wren to rebuild london after the fire .

male house wrens added cocoons to half of the first nests they built in each year . cocoon use is not unique to this house wren population , as it occurs across much of the species ' breeding range ( see mccabe , 1965 ) . the use of cocoons did not vary consistently with habitat but increased seasonally in each year , paralleling seasonal increases in spider populations ( kendeigh , 1979 ; williams et al . , 1995 ) . variation in cocoon use was unrelated to differences in male body mass or condition index .

house wrens occupy the broadest latitudinal range of any native passerine in the new world , breeding from across most of canada down to the southernmost part of south america , and into the west indies . the number of studies done on southern forms of house wrens have increased recently , especially in argentina and chile . coverage of research done on southern forms has been greatly expanded in the current review of house wren biology , with an emphasis is placed on studies that would be of most utility to researchers studying the northern forms . however , the existence of other studies on southern forms is noted and all known studies of the species appear in the comprehensive bibliography found at the end of this review .

house wrens devour spiders , bugs , beetles , and caterpillars . they also eat many leafhoppers , grasshoppers , crickets , locusts , and the occasional bee or wasp .

house wrens are territorial and are usually alone except during breeding season and on a wintering ground . during breeding season , house wrens are found in pairs or in immediate family groups while when on a wintering ground , they are rarely found with a flock and usually found alone ( scott 2014 ) . however , house wrens can be seen acting kindly . there is a case of a male house wren that fed a nestling northern flickers in a nest above his own . after his offsprings hatched , he fed both the nestling northern flickers and his own offsprings ( royall and pillmore 1968 ) . on the other hand , house wrens can be seen acting aggressively . in another case , the house wrens pecked and removed eggs of all species 1 - 3m around their nest and destroyed quail eggs in an open nest 20 - 40m from their own nest ( belles - isles and picman 1986 ) . interestingly , the males attacked eggs only before pairing and females only before laying ( kennedy and white 1996 ) . moreover , the presence of a small wasp nests in a cavity does not deter nesting but rather the wrens become aggressive , killing the wasps and knocking the nests if it is an obstacle ( mcatee1927 ) .

the wrens are small birds for the most part although the cactus wren is a medium - sized bird . the members of this family are rather plump birds with short wings , longish , strong legs and feet , and rather large heads with long , thin , slightly downcurved bills . tail size varies from the very short as is the case in the wood - wrens , to longish as in the cactus wren .

house wrens nest inside tree holes and nest boxes . as the season progresses their nests can become infested with mites and other parasites that feed on the wren nestlings . perhaps to fight this problem , wrens often add spider egg sacs into the materials they build their nests from . in lab studies , once the spiders hatched , they helped the wrens by devouring the nest parasites .

during the breeding season , the home range of house wrens is roughly the same as their territory . we have no information on the winter home range of this species .

house wrens breed from southern canada south throughout most of the u . s . they winter in the southern u . s . and mexico . the population is increasing .

house wrens are cavity nesters and as such , are easily attracted to birdhouses . in fact , these birds seem to prefer man - made nest boxes to natural cavities .

to address this , an experiment to help determine if a bird has a greater chance after a failed attempt elsewhere would be to have a house wren that failed his mating attempt and a control house wren and calculate the successes of mating attempts . sometimes the male will have more than one mating partner . when this happens , he either remains on the same territory or establishes a new territory elsewhere . in either cases , the male deserts the female and usually the deserted female will not breed again . moreover , when the female deserts the male , the deserted male is less likely to breed . when the male establishes or claims a new territory , he immediately begins building a nest that the female helps complete when she pairs with him ( scott 2014 ) .

a house wren weighs about as much as two quarters , but it’s a fierce competitor for nest holes . wrens will harass and peck at much larger birds , sometimes dragging eggs and young out of a nest site they want – even occasionally killing adult birds . in some areas they are the main source of nest failure for bluebirds , tree swallows , prothonotary warblers , and chickadees .

house wrens are usually 11 to 13 cm long and weigh 10 to 12 g . males and females are identical in coloration , but males are slightly larger in some traits .

house wrens also communicate using body language . if a predator approaches , males crouch and drop their wings , raise their back feathers , and lower their fanned - out tail .

house wrens inhabit gardens , hedgerows , brushy woods , wetlands , and other edges . they use a variety of habitats , as long as they have a dense shrub layer .

house wren nest sizes range from 4 to 8 eggs , with one egg laid per day . females develop single large incubation patches ( bare areas of skin on their bellies ) and will spend over half of their time incubating the eggs , once their entire clutch has been laid . hatching begins about 12 days after the last egg is laid and occurs only during daylight hours . house wrens are able to breed ( have reached sexual maturity ) when they are 1 year old , but some first time breeders skip the regular breeding time and choose instead to breed alongside the older birds who are attempting a second clutch in a season . house wrens nest in tree cavities , such as old woodpecker holes . they preferring cavities closer to the ground with small entrances .

as with many birds , your ears can help lead you to house wren sightings . start in the right habitat : backyards , parks , or open woods , then listen . the song can be hard to learn at first , because the notes are nondescript and variable , and because there’s simply so much of it – so loud and insistent - that it’s hard to believe such a small bird is making it .

the house wren is common sprightly and energetic backyard bird over much of the western hemisphere . its body is compact , with a flat head and thin , slightly curved beak . it is relatively short - winged , often keeping its longish tail either cocked above the line of the body . generally , most house wrens are a warm brown color with dark and light barring throughout , although there is regional variation . legs are pinkish , with large feet . taken 27 april , 2009 in victoria , british columbia , canada . the following is a link to this photographer ' s website : glenn bartley .

house wrens breed throughout all of the united states except for the south . but since they spend the winter in the south , you can find them at some time in every state .

house wrens are a very abundant species . they live in semi - forested areas , which is a common habitat type so conservation management is not necessary . however , house wrens are protected under the u . s . migratory bird act . these birds are quite tolerant of habitat change and nest disturbance , allowing them to live and reproduce successfully even in human populated areas .

most wren species are solitary birds that typically forage in pairs and do not join mixed flocks . they forage by using their bills to investigate dead leaf clusters , crevices , and various other hiding places used by the small creatures they prey upon .

in both years , we collected completed clutches of house wren eggs from the east bay study area for use in experiments on the mackinaw study area . we stored collected eggs in a refrigerator until needed . we randomly assigned nests on the mackinaw study area to either experimental or control treatment groups . within the first 3 days of incubation , we added 3 marked eggs ( foster eggs ) to the natural clutch at experimental nests and visited but did not manipulate control nests . this resulted in early - season experimental clutch sizes of 8–11 eggs and late - season experimental clutch sizes of 7–10 eggs . thus , experimental clutch sizes were near the upper limit but within the range of natural house wren clutch sizes ( bent 1948 ; johnson 1998 ) . because added eggs had been stored at cold temperatures , they did not hatch and were removed and discarded when the first original egg of the natural clutch hatched .
