Today is a weird one in regards to animal divinations. The Dartford Warbler is letting us know that our voice is being protected.

Original Bird Egg Print, Waxwing & Nuthatch Eggs, Reverend Morris 1851

やわらかな色合いの連雀（レンジャク）と五十雀（ゴジュウカラ）の卵。何点か並べてディスプレイしても素敵です。最初のアオガラの巣と卵のテキストに「リトグラフ」と書きましたが、調べたところ「手彩色の木版画」でしたので訂正いたします。
