Little sketch of one of our local birds, the clamhán (buzzard)

@Ciaraioch my fave bird. I'm so jealous of your skill. That's incredible. I always thought they were reintroduced, didn't know they did it on their own.

@Ciaraioch I recognise that type of pen!!! same pen gang!

@Ciaraioch I love your “little sketches”! That same little sketch might take me a couple of days, and even then still look slightly alien in a way I can see but can’t identify the reason for 😂 . Are you using aquarelle type pencils for the colours?

@scuffsy Thanks so much! These were just a Faber Castell set :)

@Ciaraioch love that! I watch them outside my office and have a wire sculpture of one on my wall (just lurking behind my head in this photo)
Will this be a print?

@jamie Love the hedgehog behind you too! It's just a small sketch so not suitable for a print, but might do one eventually, they're lovely to watch. When the crows aren't attacking them.

@Ciaraioch

Love it.
Have a breeding pair nearby.
They are fascinating to watch

@Ciaraioch love this and love buzzards. Are you selling prints of this?

@Ciaraioch fantastic!! My birds in my pictures are m's 😂

if only we software engineers made little scripts as beautiful, functional and satisfying as your little sketches... thanks for sharing!

@Ciaraioch We often have 2 or 3 soaring high overhead, whistling. Love the wee mouse!

@Ciaraioch this is fantastic! One of my favourite birds. Plenty of them around. Nice one!
