A Shoebill painting for Day 11 of #birdtober2026 found in swamps in East Africa from South Sudan to Zambia and related to Pelicans and Herons.

#art #birds #watercolour #sketch #painting #birdtober #nature #shoebill #africanbirds

A watercolour painting with colour pencils for definition of a shoebill. A very large bird that stands upright like a heron with long legs and with an enormous bill like a pelican. It is pinkish with grey markings for feathers and bill. It has tufted feathers on the back of the head. Background is green with foliage and thin, darker branches of small shrubs in the background.

A Spectacled owl for #birdtober2026
I can’t say I liked this watercolour painting but it’s growing on me…

A watercolour painting of a spectacled owl perched in a large horizontal. ochre coloured branch. It has bright yellow eyes, brown head with white what looks like ‘eyebrows’ and white feathers around the beak and chin and what looks like a brown moustache below the beak. The beak is a light colour. The belly is light with brown specks. The bird is facing the camera. Background is olive green.

#Birdtober Day 8: Nemesis, a term birders use for a species they've tried to find many times, but keep missing. I don't have very many Midwest nemeses! But I have yet to get a Cerulean Warbler.
