Siberian Thrush Christmas cake
Check out those undertail coverts!
I was going to use real holly leaves and berries from our garden, but then discovered all parts of the holly plant are poisonous. Lucky escape for the family!
Some wildlife-themed cakes from Christmas past: Gibson’s Albatross, Narwhales, Jack Snipe and Snowy Owl+Arctic Hare.
Is this the world’s first Siberian Thrush Christmas cake?!
My cake celebrates this bird, seen with @sheldonbirds.bsky.social
on our way back from Fair Isle in October. Made from clay & painted (badly) in acrylics.
Happy Christmas all!
