- The Mighty Condor! I was obsessed with the 80’s animation ‘The Mysterious Cities of Gold’ and it had a golden Condor 😍 . When i visited Peru years back i was determined to see one. Someone who claimed to be a shaman sold me a handmade necklace that apparently has a condor claw in it. I’m sure i was conned but i still love it! He saw me coming and i took the bait happily - hahahah- no regrets.
- The humble pigeon! Being a born and raised Londoner, i gotta show some love for the city pigeon. Cunning, street smart and ordinary - but hilariously brilliant to draw.
I’ve convinced myself i was a Condor in a previous life and in this life I’ve lived alongside pigeons, so that’s a pleasing combination!
Wow, they are extremes! But both great birds! We get a lot of wood pigeons around here but I prefer city pigeons because they're smarter, street-wise and live more interesting lives. They'd have great stories to tell, don't you think?
Oh my gosh, yes, I remember watching that show as a kid! It felt very sophisticated compared to other animated kids shows.
Wow Raj, what an experience! I want to see this necklace! 😁
Emma this looks amazing! What a wonderful experience you have managed to sort out for everyone. I would absoloutely love to draw these birds. However I’ll be busy with Griffin, so I’ll catch up afterwards. Can’t wait xx
Birds are one of my absolute favourites to draw. I know for sure I can’t make this live but really looking forward to catching up after. Beautiful pictures!
my favourite birds are of two extremes:

Sorry you can't make it Emma but I guarantee there will be a stunning collection of birds for you to draw on the replay 😊
OMGGGGG you always have the best photos and yes, I am talking about the one of you and Pedro the owl!!!!
Hahaha!! There's one of me with a giant grey owl too, but the Pedro one is cuter 😁
