Side view, showing the runner below the breast - this will help take the Bronze into the Little Owl on casting

I really like the rear view of this special Little Owl
Feathers slightly ruffled up - in a relaxed happy pose.
Once all the details have been checked and finished, and the talons and beak added - the wax will have the investment mould built up on it.
