Thank you Tim! O

Because some of you mentioned my sparrows I think I could post them here altogether. I must confess I saw many birds at the weekend, but haven't done any drawings yet.

the sparrows are superb! So many often neglected poses, they are really alive.

Looking at me!

Thank you very much for your kind comments O

I found these seagulls deep down in my archive. Each canvas was just 4cm to 4cm. The third one actually looked at me when I took a photo.

Hello! O

Are flies that unusual? Ok, on this blog of course. How many flies does a bird catch a day?

Thank you all for the compliments!!!

Today it was not too hot to draw these two guys I observed on Madeira some years ago. They are called turnstones and I found their way of looking for food quite unusual. I'm sure I show you soon O;-)

Exactly what I thought but failed to actually write when I first saw them. They are just really strong tonally.

Thank you for your kind words O

I go one with a guy from the cold areas, but I must confess I don't know what kind of penguin I found in the Birdpark Walsrode... Perhaps anybody knows?

Somehow, I hadn't found and looked through this thread yet. Wonderful work! Can't help you with what species the penguin is, but I love how you've rendered it. The fly is a great choice of subject when it is so well done as this! I confess to really liking the sparrow family, so they are very nice to see, as are the turnstones. I've got the thread subscribed now so I won't miss anything else in a timely manner.
