A seabird like creature OC.
It's called Chitoppa! They use teamwork to hunt great fish. Together they take on fish with speed and sharp beaks. The Chitoppa colony motivate eachother, never letting bad luck ruin their day.

I love Gannets but there's something about their faces which are so hard to get right

Smaugust day 8: nautical
As seabirds/dragons chase shoals of fish, they are in turn chased by wave riders (Undavector navivenator), that use their wings like a sail to catch the wind and ride the waves.

Savanna scatters and the seabird sings
So why should we fear what travel brings?
What were we hoping to get out of this?
Some kind of momentary bliss?

Sharing an old piece for an ashy storm petrel. In 2005 I interned with seabird biologists, spending a few nights on Scorpion Rock helping to catch and band a few birds. They're extremely rare and only nest in sea caves on the islands.

Smaugust 2021 - Oystercatcher

A favourite seabird of mine, they adorably poke about in mud and sand and run away from encroaching waves.

Jufly day 29 - Elegant

Struggled with this one...so I'm not convinced my drawing accurate portrays exactly why I like gannets, but I've always thought they were elegant seabirds. Their wing shape and markings are just so lovely.
