Taking part in Avian August this month! Planning on assembling all prompts into a fun poster available for sale at the end of the month.
Here's days 1-4!
American Goldfinch, Ruddy Quail-dove, Horned Grebe, and 'I'iwi!
Pen-and-wash sketches from RSPB Saltholme - highlight was the beautiful black-necked grebe, but plenty of other wildlife about, and not just birds @teesbirds1 #birds #wildlife #Butterflies #wildlifeart #birdart #Sketching
Today is #WorldWetlandsDay2022 raising awareness about the role of wetlands for people and planet.
We taking the opportunity to highlight wetland birds with these #lithographs from John Gould's 'Birds of Europe', 1873. Great crested grebe, moorhens and kingfisher.
A sneak peek at my next big artwork piece! Grebes and their adorable chicks! I've recorded the painting process of each of these for my Patreons too! (Great Crested Grebe, Little Grebe, Black-necked Grebe, Slavonian Grebe)
Today: First time #painting from life with the new spotting scope. It was a pleasure! And super fast, maybe 15? minutes for this little #aquarelle.
Common #Eider males and great crested #grebe, #watercolour
Here is a pair of Dabchicks or Little grebe, Tachybaptus ruficollis.
They bob underwater when disturbed and pop up at some distance, so can be hard to see.

The beautiful photos in the background of the letter were taken by Zach (@NaturallyZach) and are of a Great Crested Grebe, and a Water Vole. Here they are in all their glory:
