'Short Eared Parliament' (Phase 33) by Shane Wilson

The main shaping and detail work are finished on the large roosting short-eared owl.
Note the striking colour pattern revealed within the antler. It is caused by blood flow into the antler during its formation and will fade over time. This darker colouration may help visually to 'push' the large owl back behind the baby owl, if highlights of white antler in the edges of the baby owl can be preserved.
