Lovely drawing and glad to here they are back. Always amusing to see an apparently enormous chick hopping after a parent.

You are so lucky to have them back, Emma. This is a great pen and wash with a story behind it! Love your pen-work!

This lovely Emma, and you’re very fortunate to have them. We rarely see a thrush here but have the same story of a blackbird family which nested in our garden during lockdown and raised two broods. The dad was also quite tame.

Thank you Tessa - lockdown has allowed more time to watch the lives of our birds, they are fascinating.

After several years absence, song thrushes have nested in the garden this year; they’ve been doing a great job on the snail population - cracked shells everywhere - and raised three broods. The latest chicks fledged about ten days ago; this is one of them with the parent, who is very bold and will come right up to us. Pen and wash.
