A late entry from me today of a photo of a flock of Greylag Geese in flight and a quick sketch of some of them which I did with watersoluble pencils.
A flock of Greylag Geese flying low over water. They are grey and brown in colour. A watersoluble pencil drawing of a flock of Greylag Geese, flying left. The geese were drawn in pencil on watercolour paper, and then a watercolour brush was used to soften the drawing and blend some of the features together.

At a glance, Collared Doves look pretty plain.

Take a second look and there is a rainbow of pastels going on there!

We saw some Snow Geese last weekend but a heavy fog rolled in so couldn't get great photos. Maybe this looks spooky? #birds #photography #ECK

A mourning dove on dirt ground facing right. An out-of-focus white-crowned sparrow is in the background. A white-winged dove perches on a branch against a backdrop of blue sky. Several other branches crisscross the frame. The dove is facing the camera with head turned slightly to its left. Against a clear blue sky, five Canada Geese fly in formation from right to left, passing above and behind a tree line.
