Here's a scratchboard goldcrest for today's #blueskyartshow - made by scratching lines into an inked surface with a #sharp knife. This one was then coloured with ink.

Around my moth trap this morning - 3 of these beautiful little beetles. I don't know much about beetles but I believe they are Black-headed Cardinal beetles. They're absolutely bright shiny red - it seems they're more common in the south - I've never seen one before. #beetle #nature #insects #bugsky

I'm going to try and finish this little dunnock drawing today. It needs a bit of work on the chest - some of the chest feathers are too pronounced so they need toning down, then the legs and tail. #micron #birdart #birds
Perfect day yesterday for my birthday - lovely collection of moths in the morning (list in alt of moth photos), then a trip up the road to the local nature reserve with my sis and partner - saw cuckoo, nesting osprey, pied flycatcher, and heard an elusive redstart. 💚 #teammoth #nature #birds
I haven't done any drawing for ages, so I had a go at a Nut Tree Tussock moth caught in my trap the other night. It was tricky to get the intricacy of all the markings on its wings but got my rusty observation muscles working again. 4 ins wide - ballpoint pen #teammoth #ballpoint #penandink
