On Paint Party Friday this week I have painted a Chaffinch. These used to be very common in the UK, but their numbers have declined in recent years, we do have quite a few here as we live in a very rural county.
How lovely! I feel like painting a bird, sometimes, but I'm so bad at sketching that I can't even draw a bird. My 8 yo is much better than me when it comes to sketching. 😊
gorgeous! I actually started to look for it today on my walk. They usually comes early in spring. But not yet. But I hope to see them soon. They have declined in numbers here as well :(
Wonderful chaffinch! Hugs, Valerie
