went to a different park today!

(i’d been working on my scientific report for 4 hours so i forced my sister to come with me)

there were a lot of feral pigeons (Columba livia) and some people were feeding them out of their hands

there were also quite a few moorhens (Gallinula chloropus) and coots (Fulica atra)

i also saw some ducks that i didn’t recognise, i managed to find out that the white one is a crested (Anas platyrhynchos domesticus) which are a breed of domestic duck, and i’ve emailed my lecturer to help figure out what the other one is but i suspect it’s a mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) with a gene mutation

speaking of mallards we saw mallard ducklings which were so cute! and they were incredibly fast swimmers too, and there were 10 in total.

finally i saw a nuthatch (Sitta europaea) in a tree which was exciting because it was the first time i’d seen one in person!

Just found a moorhen that got hit by a train here, feel free to use these as reference material for art or anything! Such a beautiful bird..

Wasn`t a fan of tusks for mudwings until I drew them myself lol. I think it would work out well as a royal family trait (like the patterns seawings have)

Colored Moorhen doodle

idk i’ve just been thinking about her recently….. like a lot…….

she’s so cool

and also i’ve been playing around with putting linear burn on my paper sketches and then coloring on the layer below a lot, it’s the way i made my peril drawing and i really like it so you might see more drawings like this!!
