I made some sketches asked me for a scientific publication about kentish plover, that nests on the beach near Rome. They are implementing a project to protect this cute little bird, in Torre Flavia riserve, which nests on the beach. Without any shelter, including twigs and plastic bottles. His fear is the horrible sand harvesters, tractors that sweep away everything that they find in their breeding season.
These are delightful sketches ! I love his striding legs and also the drawing with is head tilted on the side.
ReplyDeleteThese are so lively, Elisabetta! I hope the protection efforts are successful.
