Yesterday I went down to the Danube in the afternoon. The edges of the river were frozen, sadly the coming mild weather will melt it. Good numbers of Black-headed and Common Gulls were gathering on the ice; I made this sketch of one of them.
I would like to wish all my visitors Merry Christmas and Happy New Year with this winter sketch! Thank you very much for your interest!

I've got some original illustrations (mainly birds of prey) back. They are for sale and can be checked in my other blog.
