This artwork serves as a testament to the beauty and diversity found within avian species. Moving to Denbighshire, Wales, we encounter a female Whinchat elegantly poised on a bracken frond. Its presence adds an enchanting touch to the picturesque landscape. A historical reference takes us back to page 409 of "The Whinchat" from 1810-17.
