Bewick's Wren

Design - "Monthly Animal Series" - "August Bee"
Designer - Nikyscreations
Fabric - Espresso 30 count R & R linen
Fibers - DMC - 2 strands over 2 threads
Started - 5 August 2016
Completed - 7 August 2016

Framed - September 2018

The frame picks up on the rosy-pink flowers.  I have quite a collection of framed beehives / bee skeps and am most pleased to now be able to display this design. 


Sunday morning this guy was "chipping" and preening.

It's unusual for a Bewick's Wren to stay in one place.

There was some plant material in front of the bird, so the bottom of the photos are a bit blurry. 

Nonetheless...

Classic wren pose - see the striped tail?

Preening

One last look before off he flew.
