Union Infantry on the March - Strelets

20 bod poses in this set..so, again not including the Streltsi, 19 poses. One is reckoned to be a Sergeant but I´ve put him to one side..maybe he´ll end up as an Artillery officer. As with the sets, there´s  only one Standard bearer so two rank and file bods had to be drafted in to make up the numbers.

Again, a doddle to paint and very Little Flash.
The Standard is the 15th Winsconsin.

The "Sergeant"

A bit of "Nature News".....4 more Urchins have been Born in our garden.

The pic below is the 4 of them just after they left thier nest. 

Two Portrait shots. They are quite Young and tiny..compare them to the Ivy leaves :-)

Two days ago there was a cheeping noise from the nest. I thought it was a bird being disturbed by them moving about but no...it was one ot the Urchins cheeping!!! I never knew that hedgehogs could cheep but apparently they do it when they want to Signal to thier mother.
The next evening I waited for them to come out and one was so happy it´d found a big slug..it cheeped! 

THIS link has an example of one chirping.
