Short-eared Owl
Short-eared Owl – carved in Yorkstone. They’re impressive owls when you catch a glimpse of one! Short-eared Owls hunt during the day, so can be spotted occasionally here on the North York Moors flying low over the heather, on fence posts, or in the rough moorland grass. It breeds here too, nesting on the […]

And as Spring begins – hatchlings
Yesterday was such a beautiful sunny, warm day for Spring to begin. And, as the green shoots begin to appear, buds unfurl, also hatchlings arrive. The offspring of these two perhaps. All peeping, fluffy and wobbly on their legs, huddling together for reassurance. Quail chicks sculpture carved in Yorkstone.

Hare carved in Yorkstone – 10″ x 6″ x 6″ I wanted this hare to be a little bolder (than Hare Hesitant), so gave this sculpture the appearance of a Hare raising its head, looking out, taking in the spring air. The Hare Looking Out sculpture is pictured here at my workshop, doing much […]

Hare Hesitant
‘Mad as a March Hare’ they say…. March is right in the middle of the Hare’s breeding season, the males searching out the females, chasing and circling them. If a male tries to get too close too soon, the female stands up on her hind feet and turns on him striking with her forepaws, […]
Crested Tit
As part of my collection of Little Birds, I’m working on a Crested Tit today. I’ve never seen one, and although they’re common in Europe, the only place to see them in the UK is Scotland. They’re found in coniferous forests and ancient pinewoods in Inverness or Strathspey. The Crested Tit is lively and […]
