Penduline Tits

25th February 2015 - Topsham

 

I haven't posted much in the way of sketches recently so here are some of the Penduline Tits which are still performing occasionally at nearby Dart's Farm, although these pieces date from early January. These sketches are all of one of the presumed first winter females. I'm still no nearer figuring out what's going on with these birds, there seems to be only three now but what happened to the two with very faint masks (or none at all according to some reports)? Did they disappear, are they lurking somewhere nearby undetected or did they morph into two masked birds in the space of a few days?

  1. Amazing artwork Tim. The numbers involved are puzzling. Only two birds present yesterday.
