Willow hare and chicks.

Made a willow hare yesterday. It took nearly 7 hours-  very hard on the hands. This one is my friend's.  Her garden is much tidier than mine. Mine looks very similar.  They need a bit of bulking up, hence the bundle of cane next to it.
While I was away the blackbirds have had chicks. These I think are about 9 or 10 days old or maybe even 11 days.
