Eurasian Eagle Owl (Bubo Bubo) turning back
This weekend I finished my Eurasian Eagle Owl (Bubo Bubo) miniature illustration.
Wanted to keep all the paint clean to fit for a field-guide illustration work.
Dimension: 21×21cm, watercolor.
Here is the head crop from the painting.
House Martin (Delichon urbica) flying again
Every year numbers of house martin nestlings arrive at Milvus Group when the weather becoming unstable at the fall of August. Nest collapse from deliberate destruction by people is also not uncommon. This year we got a weakly House martin (Delichon urbica) at the stage of development only days away from fledging. Swallows are difficult birds to keep because of their aerial feeding habits and swift flight. The nestling get feeding immediately. His diet consist of: Mealworm (Tenebrio molitor), flies and minced meat . After one week the bird acclimatized to flying in room. Here is a short video footage from “Cheeby’s” life :)
