Okay, one more post about nature journaling and, hopefully, that will be the last for a while. The reason I’m focusing on my journal again today is due to the abysmal state of weather forecasting in this country. After several days of un-forecast rain and drizzle, yesterday’s forecast was for more drizzle and rain, so I went out in full waterproofs and with just my cheapo camera. What happened? You guessed it β not a single drop of water fell from the sky until late afternoon, and I didn’t have my good camera with me to take photographs of my first ever local sightings of Cattle egrets. So, this is where drawing comes in handy, to illustrate what I’ve seen.

p.s. The gold star is not me marking my own homework. It’s a visual indication of how superb it was to see these gorgeous egrets in my area.
Wonderful to see your drawings, they bring another dimension to our appreciation of the birds and other wildlife you share with us.
