My first real go using Caran d'Ache watercolour pencils.
Quite a challenge but I found them lovely to use.

Lots of greys in this Grey Heron as I realise I might have to ask for some watercolour pencils for my birthday. Thanks to #clairemilligan

The relatively plain Echo Parakeet is one of the rarest birds in the world. Only found in the little that remains of the Ebony Forest in Mauritius. I was fortunate to see a pair last year when visiting.

Viscount Rothermere and Richard Desmond are responsible for stoking division in the UK and must he held to account. Re-post if you agree.

Amazing what some marks on a page can lead to. My drawing of a barn owl, in coloured pencils.

Since 1980 over $20tn of Oil and Gas has been removed from the UK.
And I say removed because you got sweet FA.
This is because Margaret Thatcher sold it to her mates so the profits could go the billionaires and not to you
We should be richer than Norway, instead we are in debt

BBC’s Chris Mason calls Farage a “master of storytelling”
Maybe the BBC could stop helping him out and tell another story.One about a grifting prejudiced conman who’s wrecked our country with his ‘Breaking Point’ Brexit but has never been held to account for the lies he’s told, the damage he’s done.

King Charles inherited £650m tax free, gets £125m a year tax free from the tax payer and has an estate worth £22bn that’s never taxed.
But he still needed a 45% pay rise.
Like if he needs a pay cut.
RP if you want the Monarchy gone.
