Listening to sparrows outside. Our birdsong accompaniment to the morning is a mix usually of sparrows, cooing wood pigeons and loud seagulls. #Birds #BirdsOfMastodon #BirdSong #Morning #Wildlife #Scotland #Dundee #Angus #Tayside #ScottishBirds #soundscape #Sounds

“Stonechat by West Sands” is finished. My feelings about it are mixed. It feels true to the moment — I used my own photos and memory as a guide — but not to the rules of composition (about which I am hazy). Still, I’m glad I tried — it was such a fun time on the sands with the birds :) #BirdArt #WildlifeArt #SandDunes #ScottishBirds #Scotland #ColouredPencils
