I’ve seen the most incredible birds this side of the year, wheatears, avocets but the bird which set my heart on fire this month was the yellow wagtail. I can’t believe these birds exist in the UK and I can’t believe my eyes weren’t open until the ripe age of 33.
I wrote all about those little fellas on my NemobySea blog, and I wanted to do a pretty exciting piece of art to go with my enthusiasm, so inspired by my sketchy gulls I aimed for a similar styled wagtail — I don’t think it went well. It’s unfinished and probably will go unposted but I feel I atoned for my sketchy sins with a simpler (and much less time consuming) watercolour of him, check it out here!
