Now can you tell what it is yet....?

© Sharon Whitley


This will probably be the last post for a few days as we are heading off to the hills at the weekend - firstly to the beautiful Cadair Idris in Snowdonia on Saturday and then off to the Lake District for a few days so more walking and mountain landscape themed posts will be coming up next week, hopefully with blue skies and great views!

I came home from work the other day to find that next door had someone in to cut all the trees and bushes back so it's looking quite bare by the feeders now :-((



Only one more garden bird to paint now - a dunnock  - unlessl I see any new arrivals.  

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend whatever you're doing.......bye for now.

    Sharon, the delightful Song Thrush. How lucky you are to have one visit your garden. You have painted the 'arrowheads' on this birds underparts to perfection....I can't go on praising you like this you know!!

    Have a great weekend away to the hills.

      thank you Pete - I unfortunately didn't actually get to see the song thrush - Gary saw it but it was definitely in the garden so I had to paint it!

    What a lovely little bird Sharon, I am confident you will get them coming as long as you put out food for them :-)) You could plant a few bushes and a little tree ,too...they would love that :-) Wish you a great little trip , see you soon. xx
