Gouache Painting Of Long-tailed Tits For The Upcoming Book About My Local Nature Reserve.

Gouache painting of a pair of long-tailed tits making a nest in the branches of a bramble. The nest is egg-shaped and green made from moss and lichen. There is a hole near the top of the nest within which sits a long-tailed tits face looking straight ahead with its big tail sticking up out of the nest behind it. On a branch outside the nest stands another tit holding out a grey pigeon feather towards the bird in the nest.

Gouache painting of long-tailed tits for the upcoming book about my local nature reserve.

Long-tailed tits make stretchy nests from a base of moss and spider silk. On the outside they’re covered in lichen for camouflage and inside are lined with feathers for cosiness!

I Know European Starlings Are Not Everybody’s Favourite In America (for Good Reason, And I Know It

I know European Starlings are not everybody’s favourite in America (for good reason, and I know it is not the bird’s fault), but can we for a moment sit down and admire their most beautiful plumage?
