Inspired by the birds at #RSPB #Otmoor, here's that #PaperMache #fieldfare I've been working on. She's now varnished & looking for a home....
I absolutely LOVE making paper mache thrush species - or indeed any bird with such gorgeous spots & speckles!

Last week we went to RSPB #Otmoor to see the starlings. However the star of the afternoon turned out to be an unusually confiding #fieldfare (Turdus pilaris). Hopping about in the hedge, just a few metres away from us, we were able to observe it's fabulous markings and subtle colours. I couldn't resist making a #papermache one.
All that cutting & sticking is fun, but the best bit is #painting in all the speckly bits.

Redwings (Turdus iliacus) in the garden this morning, 1st time this year. Turning over leaves under the apple tree, looking for worms. I love #WinterThrushes
#Birding
Thrushes galore at the moment, in the trees and on the ground. This fluffed-up Mistle looks like it was feeling the cold, and the Song thrush found a couple of worms while I was watching its leaf flipping.
