Flat illustration of a Wood Pigeon, Magpie, and Robin in a parade-line stride holding autumn leaves up high with their beaks! (UK birds as I am there right now on vacation!)

So if you ever wondered what bird nostrils look like, here you go.

If you never thought about bird nostrils, here you go anyway.

A mid moult Sophie, turning her head to one side slightly. You can see her nostril as a small hole in the base of her beak - normally covered with short feathers

Very, very metal.

Soaked to the skin, and mid moult. Sophie is looking happy, but very scraggy and metal

Like you just stepped out of the salon.

After losing a fight with everyone in there.

A scruffy, but happy Sophie posing on my hand

Hello! Would you like a leaf(let)?

Comfy snoozing under cover. Listening to the rain and warming my bum. I hope whatever you’re doing, it’s as good as this.

Magpie - Watercolour on paper.

The scan and touch up, this painting gets the proper treatment!

Available as a print at www.inprnt.com/gallery/fion... to whatever places inprnt ships to (not just the UK :P)

Tonight’s menu includes raw liver and bran flakes, which is a winning combination!

You can see a whole bunch of feathers in progress in these photos as I have a groom in the late sun.

Sophie grooming her back, you can see the sheath new feathers emerge from in her tail

That thing where you’re “awake” but not really.

Conventional stick is in danger of becoming stale. I’m taking it to strange new places.

Given current conditions, this is as smart as I can get. Morning all!

Sophie looking scruffy but happy

Biffable foods is best foods.

RE: My earlier statement.

It’s also very important to set yourself achievable goals. ;)

Are you a cop? Did you see anything?

Na, didn't think so.

Good morning chums! Aim high today, I reckon you can do it! *bree!*

Sometimes you’re blorping with, sometimes you’re blorping without.

Big shout out to the morning scruffy brigade.

Early morning Sophie. She's standing on a perch, looking a bit untidy and unbothered

Sophie the Magpie @breesophiebree.bsky.social · Jun 22

At least now you know the magpie for “I would quite like that yes please”

Sophie the Magpie @breesophiebree.bsky.social · Jun 18

Fresh feathers = fresh razzle dazzle.
