A Jolly Little Feathered Friend

What a delight to unwrap this little fellow on Christmas morning! A beautiful bird made of wire, feathers and funny found objects, lovely made by artist Cathy Miles. This happy dunnock now sits pretty on my shelf in my sitting room. The unique emporium Whippet Grey has a selection of Cathy's birds for sale online.
