🌍🌏🌎 Ruddy turnstone (Arenaria interpres) The ruddy turnstone is a stocky shorebird, about 21-26 cm long, with bright orange legs and a stout, slightly upturned black bill. Its plumage is a distinctive harlequin-like pattern of chestnut, black, and white in breeding season, becoming duller grey-brown and mottled in winter. In flight, it shows striking white wingbars and a white rump. Highly migratory, it breeds in Arctic Eurasia and North America, then winters on coastlines almost worldwide, favouring rocky shores, sandy beaches, and mudflats. Its name comes from its characteristic feeding behaviour: flipping over stones, shells, and seaweed with its bill to uncover insects, crustaceans, and other small invertebrates. They can be seen individually or in small groups, sometimes with other waders. 2.5 Flash (Edited) Two subspecies are recognised.

...just waiting for my precious white pencil to arrive to do final highlights and then this piece is done! Both are gorgeous, gorgeous robins - but are you team GB or team USA?!

Nearly done! I may have to pause on the final touches as I discovered, to my horror, I don’t have another of my favourite white pencils - the only one that makes decent highlights - so I'm about to do an art supplies order (Oh no, what a shame...)

The Common tern (Sterna hirundo) is a migratory seabird known for its elegant appearance and graceful flight. It has a slender body, long pointed wings, and a forked tail. The upperparts are pale gray, while the underparts are white. During the breeding season, adults develop a black cap on their head. They have sharp, pointed bills and orange-red legs. Common terns are highly skilled divers, plunging into the water to catch small fish and invertebrates. They breed in colonies along coastlines and inland lakes, constructing nests on the ground or in vegetation. These terns undertake long migrations, traveling between their breeding grounds in the Northern Hemisphere and their wintering areas in the Southern Hemisphere. Conservation status: Least Concern.
