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.

But Tit and Waxwing using Polychromos and Luminance on Bristol board and drafting film respectively. Great tutorials with Claire Milligan on Patreon.

A Little Green Bee-eater in Polychromos pencils. Testing my posting ability!
