It is migratory in only the northern parts of its range. The Eurasian wren occurs in Europe and across the Palearctic – including a belt of Asia from northern Iran and Afghanistan across to Japan. The species was once lumped with Troglodytes hiemalis of eastern North America and Troglodytes pacificus of western North America as the winter wren. It is russet brown above, paler buff-brown below and has a cream buff supercilium. It has a very short tail which is often held erect, a short neck and a relative long thin bill. In Anglophone Europe, it is commonly known simply as the wren. The Eurasian wren ( Troglodytes troglodytes) or northern wren is a very small insectivorous bird, and the only member of the wren family Troglodytidae found in Eurasia and Africa ( Maghreb).
