Dunnock Stained Glass Roundel

The Dunnock often known as the 'hedge sparrow' is often overlooked due to its quiet nature. Because it lays blue eggs, they are the frequent target of the cuckoo who lay their eggs in their nest. The Dunnock then raises the young regardless and often at the expense of their own. Sadly due to the decline in our native hedgerows their numbers have dropped.

As  the Dunnock does not possess flashy colours or loud presence it reminds and teaches us the value of modesty and the beauty of humility within. If you feel a deep connection to the bird you may find within the Dunnock spirit of quiet resilience, a caring nurturing heart and a sense of inner self worth and peace.

Painted on a pale olive tint.

Diameter: 10cm
