Crossbill

I thoroughly enjoyed today's RSPB field trip to Breckland. The highlight was three crossbills.



They came to sit on a conifer tree just like the illustration that I have just finished!



This is a sneak preview of one of the spreads from my new story that I am currently working on.



A male kingfisher(カワセミ)
It was really nice to observe a kingfisher for long time. He was comfortably sitting on a branch just above the river, giving me enough time to draw. He stayed there until well after most of the people in our group got tired of watching him and started to walk away.

    ウェールズアファンでも、イスカはよく見かけましたね。
    英国は本当に楽しい場所だと思います

  2. ヒヨ吉さん、
    このあたりでは、イスカはけっこう珍しいです。森といえる環境が少ないせいもあるかもしれません。

    英国も、広いですもんね。
    いろいろな状況があって、これまたおもしろさが広がります。
    Yバードのツアーもうまく行くといいですね!
