Here are some birds #StandingOnThings except the floor for #BirdOfTheDay - A nuthatch on a stump, a coal tit on a log, a kingfisher on a post, and a magpie on whatever that stone ball thing is!

Rough digital drawing of a Sharp-shinned Hawk bust. The hawk is in profile. It is a complex mottled color of browns and grays, with a small hooked beak, round head, rufous tinting to the auriculars, and a huge bright yellow eye that makes it look worried. Its feathers are slicked back tight to the body indicating it is alert.

Every Sharp-shinned Hawk I've ever seen looked like it was worried it left the stove on.

Just learned about the daily #HolidayRobin so here's one for today, just visible through a well-placed gap in the leaves.

How would you feel getting this close to stags in the wild?

My red stag painting will be available soon.

A watercolour painting of a Great White Egret that is standing on a rock.  The background is black/grey wash and splatters to give a sense of darkness and night time.

Good evening everyone. I haven't shared any of my artwork for a while so here's an experimental piece of a Great White Heron trying to be spooky in the darkness for #Spooktober ! πŸ‘»
Hope you like it! ☺️ πŸͺΆ 🀍
