SUY Animals in your country

As i suggested that i dont think about that i could win

Now i won and it is after the SUY snakes the next big big SUY for me and i think i need a big lot of time to finish that.

And i hope a lot of members will share also a lot of pics.

So i live in Dresden, the capitol of Saxony in Germany. We have in Dresden any interesting parks and forests. So the "Großen Garten", the "Tharandter Wald", "Dresdner Heide" and not far away the national park "Sächsische Schweiz".

There are a lot of animals inside like wild boars, roe deers , red deers, different bats, foxes, wolves a lot of birds and so on.

And i have a lot of figurines of any of the species but on different places.

Here the first pics to open that SUY. It could be possible that i will change something in the future :)
More pics soon

I hope for a very living SUY :)

Great models, and nice animals !

I think we have almost the same kind of animals here also, - but no wild boars, and the "wolf", which they found turned out to be a...FOX

Shall see if I can post some common birds from here

Here are some animals that we have here in Norway:

Very interesting topic and nice models here

Gosh ! Norway has it all

Are we doing by country, province or region...Canada's really big.

I plan on adding to this thread once the semester is over (unless I decide to procranstinate...) I was going to do my state's animals (Since the US's list would go on and on...), so I would say province or region would work for Canada, whatever you want to do.

Very true!

I think Saarlooswolfhund's idea is probably the best for big and diverse countries like the US, Canada and Russia. State/province/region makes the most sense.

Hmm, I have a gator, but no manatee, dolphin, etc.etc.....

P.S. I love Anne from Norway's first photo with the deer and muskox. It looks like the one on the lower right is saying "Hey! Watch where you put those things!" after getting poked on the rear by the muskox's horn.

I think Paige is right, - unless you have time to show all
But of course it is interesting to see - like Anne's pictures - how many animals there is in one country

I would say you may do as you choose, if you just write it  

PS, - Andreas beat me to it

My idea is a sleepless SUY. I know members from big countries have a lot of different areas. And so if they want they can share from the coutry or area - it is your decision. I hope for a lot of pics and like Annes pics with different animals :)

I think this thread is quite interesting. I can't take picture at the moment though...
At my place the streets are named after bird species so I could even apply this thread more locally
My street's name is "titlark" and we actually have had some titlarks in our garden :) However, I do not own a titlark figure... (not sure if they're even around )

Yes ! That is something we miss : Models of the more common European birds

Great topic !
It is great to see what amazing spieces live in your countries !
I am from Poland, here we have quite a lot wild fauna. I personally live in the woods, and I have a lot of contact with wild nature.
Sadly my collection is small ( yet) but i already have some animals that can be seen in Poland!

Rarely there are lynxes too, mostly in Białowieża forest area ( or my lack of knowledge tells me that there mostly)

I also have few polish animals that are painted by me but I don't own them,  shall I post them ?

Nice figurines :)

There is a SUY for Piciformes + hornbills, but not for the other members of the Hornbill order (Coraciiformes), so I will post here instead my new hoopoe:

And here with all the other birds found in my country in my collection:

WOW!
The Hoopoe is just amazing, and I can imagine tiny too- how big is this beautiful model?
And all the others are so realistic, but my favourite has to be your goldfinch!!
All the colouring is just right, and they are one of my favourite birds, and you have done it to scale- I just love it!

Thanks Bonnie for your lovely kind words! :) The hoopoe is not so small - wings are bended so I can't measure the wingpan, but from bill tip to tail tip it measures 23 or 24 millimeters.
