The 2 males showed an amazing closeness and appeared to be with 1 female.

The two males together is either a function that wrens are cooperative breeders and the younger birds help their parents at the nest with the chicks (cooperative breeding) or that wrens in general have multiple extra pair copulations

Thank you for your additional comments. The sighting is more interesting if I can better understand their behaviour.
