29 - Eurasian goshawk
30 - Little grebe
31 - Willow ptarmigan, this one in spring mode and starting to grow in their brown summer feathers

I’m sad this is nearly over - it’s been great to see so much art on Bluesky.
My offering this evening is a pastel painting from earlier this year, inspired by returning Nightjars in the spring.
(Only 158 days until they’re back again. 😉)

A few years back, in a heavy snowfall, I saw lots of these birds, sheltering by a hedge. Later, I returned with bird seed; one had died in the cold. I took it home for colour reference, it was invaluable for the underwings.
