Pigeon ✨ I love feral pigeons with their various colour patterns and shimmery bits. So I decided to paint one :)

The ugly phase of paintings✨💚

A white statue of Charles Darwin sitting crossed legged on a chair. On the image, there’s text saying ‘Happy 217th birthday Charles Darwin!’. A birthday hat with polka dots has been photoshopped on top of the statue’s head.

Guess who’s turning 217 today? It’s Charles Darwin! 🥳

Born in 1809, he transformed the way we understand the natural world. He developed the theory of evolution by natural selection in his 1859 best-seller, ‘On the Origins of Species’.

Send him your birthday wishes in the comments! 👇

Snowy owl (Bubo scandiacus) with watercolours. I did this commission for a friend, who knows this owl in particular (a "pet"), so I had many many reference photos :)

I thought it is time for a good old dose of Levi <3
#Leviathan

Our Curator of Hemiptera, Diana, wants to show you her favourite bugs - and you’d better have some lovely things to say about them… 👁️🦗🐜

Levi the Leviathan says: it is too damn hot to do anything but swimming and sleeping🫠🔥

Just saying - they started watching me first (the disadvantage of having a roof window). Now they’re sabotaging my camera ;)

Juvenile yellow-legged gulls (Larus michahellis) on my roof. Put my birdbuddy there (without food) to check what is really going on there ;)
