Night herons are amongst my favourite birds.
Today I went to a spot where I see them every year.

This was the result...


Cormorants were present to:

Nice sketches and watercolors Paulo. I particularly like the night heron watercolor.

Great stuff here, Paulo. A very well observed and drawn set of night heron poses - lovely flowing lines, just the way I'd tackle 'em - ah, ah, ah. Nice open-billed cormorant too. Birds with their beaks open like this are rather difficult, especially when you've got the gape line to consider but, again you've observed this very well.

Love the sinuous poses of the preening birds and the cormorant's a winner.

The Night-heron is a favorite bird of mine as well, but very difficult to find around our area. Nice to see your image of one. The cormorant is particularly nicely done.

In the past weekend I've been sketching a Stork nest with three nestlings.



I've made some insect illustrations: a Western honey bee (Apis mellifera) and a Two Tailed Pasha (Charaxes jasius):



Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Lovely work Paulo, the nestlings are gorgeous.

Thanks Mike, it's wonderfull to watch this little guys.

I couldn't agree more. Nestlings of any type beeing fed is a wonderful thing to see.
