BOTD: Water Rail

^image credit: Alexis Lours, Wikipedia

Water Rail (rallus aquaticus) 

The Water Rail is a relative of the Moorhen and Coot. It is more often heard than seen, making calls often described as piglet-like squeals. They are not often seen in flight, as they prefer to migrate at night.

Mia the British Shorthair Cat (2024)

A pet portrait painting of a cute grey British Shorthair cat named Mia, laying in the grass, which was her favorite thing to do. Acrylic painting on 9x12 inch (22.9 x 30.5 cm) stretched canvas, March 2024.

A big thank you to @whitedarkmoonflower for trusting me with capturing your girl's beauty on canvas! This was a fun one to paint due to all the subtle colors in her fur, as well as those fiery copper orange eyes! Grey fur has so much variation in colors from the lighting. It can appear blue or even violet in some areas, and creamy white in others. I also had a blast painting the grass and the out-of-focus background.

Gouache painting of long-tailed tits for the upcoming book about my local nature reserve.

Long-tailed tits make stretchy nests from a base of moss and spider silk. On the outside they’re covered in lichen for camouflage and inside are lined with feathers for cosiness!

Apparently twitter is having discourse over this british kids series called "Horrid Henry" and people are absolutely SEETHING about how the horrid one in question isn't Henry but his parents. Every clip I've seen posted of this series is just pure Ragebait and I'd like to share this rage with tumblr so here is a compilation of clips that truly piss me off.
