Hedgerow Birds sculpture
Hedgerow Birds – carved in Yorkstone – 6″ x 2″ x 4″
Often when I sit quietly for a moment, perhaps assessing my progress with a sculpture, or to rest weary arms, I’m joined by little birds. They hop and flit out of the nearby hedgerow where they must have been hiding or feeding.
At this time of year they’re turning over the piles of leaves or racing along branches in search of morsels, pulling at moss and lichen searching for what is beneath.
If I move too hastily up they go, and back to the thick protection of the Hawthorn, Blackthorn and Hazel hedge. They have favourite entry points which they use over and over again – perhaps it is their patch of the hedge.
