Finishing up on this commission this week! It’s been a challenge and I’ve learnt so much! Not overthinking things is one 🥲 #eider #sciart #birds #birdillustration #watercolour #watercolourart

This male Eider came into #DunbarHarbour on the high tide. It was diving repeatedly and successfully caught a crab on one dive. With clear water I could follow it underwater, or watch the trail of bubbles as it dived and surfaced. Dives lasted around 15–20 seconds.
