When I found out from the RSPB’s twitter that it was ‘Draw a picture of a bird day”, I realised this is the perfect opportunity to draw peafowl again! It’s been too long since my last one. The subject of this rough study is a peahen named Andromeda, belonging to @kedreeva. I previously did studies of her late hen, Beep.

NICOBAR PIGEON (Caloenas nicobarica) by ©Laura Quick fun fact: Closest living relative of the Dodo

A large, mainly ground-dwelling bird, the Nicobar pigeon is the only member of its genus. Due to a lack of natural predators and isolation on small islands, this species has been able to develop bright plumage, making it one of the more beautiful species among the pigeons and doves. In appearance, the Nicobar pigeon far outshines the grey dodo, with dark green iridescent feathers on the body and a mantle of pointed, greenish-blue feathers which have coppery overtones. more here
