Woodcock One-day Carving Class

Roosting Woodcock (Scolopax minor) carved of wood and painted to suggest live birds' plumage. This carving appears to be roosting (sitting on the ground). It has a long beak, a pale brown head with a darker brown eye-line and chin line and dark patches across its crown. It has darker brown wings with patchy white wing bars and even darker brown flecks. Its breast and belly are a medium brown with slightly yellow patches.
