I do simple art of fictional creatures inspired by the style used in scientific publications. Don't expect quality or quantity here... but thanks to all the new followers.
Time to reveal this thing.
Felt the old dragon was frustrating to do, so i tried a different idea and made it more serpentine.

Some more Scilly pics from way back on 6 Oct pelagic. Great Shearwater (awesome as ever) and Garfish fleeing the Blue-fin Tuna that we saw but was too quick for a pic. #ukbirding #psl #fish

This little oil painting always gives me autumn vibes. I love the warm colours and that's why autumn is my favorite season.

Cryptoctober Day 30: Underwater Abominable Snowman

During a dive near the Bahamas, diver Bruce Mounier encountered a bizarre creature with a long neck and a monkey-like face. It rotated its head around like a snake to watch the man before speeding off

Spectacular views of this Red Kite at various locations in the south Mainland of Shetland today. A rare species this far north with <50 records. Pic as it drifted north over the home patch of Loch of Hillwell this afternoon.

A New Age of Reptiles Preview: The Masked Bitsybird!

The Bitsybirds, tiny neognaths found across Eurasia and Africa, are the smallest of all birds in the New Age of Reptiles. Comparable in size to the bee hummingbirds of our timeline, they subsist on a diet of small insects, fruits, and sap. (1/6)

New paper on precise tool use learning in carrion crows @currentbiology.bsky.social. We show that—like New Caledonian crows—expert carrion crows pay close attention to the working end of their tool, suggesting tool integration into their peripersonal space. 🧵 & vids! 👇

One of two Hummingbird Hawkmoths I've been lucky enough to see in the south Mainland of Shetland this week. A scarce migrant to our northern shores, these tiny 'flying bullets' boast a wingbeat speed of up to 80 beats a second!

All current projects I'm doing, or continuing. None finished, as usual, but I will work again on them at some point.

Surprised to see my tyrannosaurus silhouette in this paper. Easily the only good thing to come out of my old dino "research" (as bad as it was tbh).

I love the little birds that don't get any attention. The Torrent Tyrannulet is a very special little flycatcher that spends its whole life hunting insects on the edges of fast-moving rivers. At first, they look like bits of foam or spray at the edge of the water.
