Sparrows in the Plum Tree - art by Lotti Brown

My sweet sparrows art was inspired by the sparrows in my own garden - we have a little flock of about 12 house sparrows, male and female, who feed (virtually all day, every day) at the feeder in our plum tree.

I think they might live in there too, as the plum tree is thick with ivy and creepers and it's safe for them to hide out or roost.

They perch across all the branches of the tree, like fluttering decorations, keeping watch and taking turns...

They're so funny to see with their swift, twittering arguments around the feeder. We even had once hanging completely upside down at the feeder to stop being bombarded from his mates from the ferns beneath...

It was quite effective until the little birds got wise and while he was still hanging upside down, they swooped down from above to oust him from the feeder. I haven't seen him try it again since!

How I created my Sparrows art

I created my sparrows artwork digitally in Adobe Illustrator from pen and marker drawings of sparrows and blossom branches...

I wanted my sparrows art to show just how very sweet I think 'my' little sparrows are.

I really love to watch them in the garden and feel very protective over them... when I see this piece now it makes me smile to see them and think of them all sweet and happy in our little garden.

I hope you love my little sparrows too - perhaps you have little sparrows of your own!
