An eastern kingbird in flight over a marsh that is reflecting the green and yellow tones of the surrounding reeds. It is showing the dark and light grey feathers on its back and has its wings and tail spread.

A watercolour painting of a lone Dipper, a medium-sized, plump, short-tailed bird with a brown head, body and a white throat/chest.  The Dipper is standing on a rock in side profile looking to the right as viewed.  The background is in pale blue around the rock to simulate water, with a buff colour above to make the dipper standout.

Here's a Dipper painted in watercolour for today's #ArtAdventCalendar and also #BirdOfTheDay theme #OnTheRocks ! I've only ever seen a Dipper once, they really are wonderful birds πŸͺΆ 🀎

Painting inspired by one of the @rspb.bsky.social website dipper images!

I suspect they're a feral colony of domestic bees, I think sadly they've perished as there was no moment πŸ˜•
