Bittern demonstrating how their eyes can look right down their bill (Something they have in common with most heron species) to help them pin point prey before they grab (or stab!) it with their beak!

That’s a wrap on Female Kestrel- 12x16inch watercolour on cold press.
Such a joy to do, so much learning on this piece. Moss was a new one for me!

Day two Norfolk. Whooper swan (no Bewick though which would have been nice!!) short eared owl- superb sightings of a few. Got hawfinch today, and tree sparrow! It’s still absolutely freezing. More Pochard than you can shake a stick at. #ukbird #ukbirding #birding #norfolkbirding

A vigorous cleaning regime for this male kingfisher.
Love his bum wiggle as he shakes to get his feathers in the right position.

Decent enough sighting of the adult female this lunchtime down on Regent's Canal.
She is becoming more and more tolerant of people as the winter goes on.
