So here is the little grey wagtail from a design based on my painting in the previous post. The background is chain-stitch created with the tambour needle and now I've had some practise I can work at a reasonable pace with it. The bird is being stitched in a mixture of stem stitch and long & short stitch for the areas which need a colour change.
I've also been doing a bit of drawing and here is a pencil drawing of St Marks from a photo I took sometime ago.
The photos below were taken during May.

| A swallow watches as another lands on the rail next to it. |
The last 3 pictures show a moorhen looking for a place to nest. It decided against this tyre in favour of somewhere more spacious!
