Drawing birds, plants and trees in Rotterdam Zoo

White-rumped Shama

They are very curious...

They give me good ideas...

Von der Decken's Hornbill came to have a look, 

when I was drawing a Red-billed Leiothrix.

Sketching this new visitor...

Red-billed Leiothrix and the tree.

Red-billed Leiothrix was the only one in the greenhouse 

and was always with other birds, 

such as here with a Common Emerald Dove in her nest.

Crowned Lapwing

Juni and Juli at the Greenhouse: a lot of young birds

There were two Toco Toucans in the incubator, born on 12 June. 

It was nice to see and sketch their development.

And Gentoo Penguins also had young this year.

Sketching in the Greenhouses at Rotterdam Zoo

In my another blog about Greenhouses in Rotterdam Zoo (you can have a look in this link) I wrote that the greenhouses are my favorite place. I still remember how wonderful it was, when I was at the Zoo in 2007 (for the first time). I see so many beautiful birds which I had never seen before!

Great Kiskadee (Pitangus sulphuratus)

 It is nice to sit somewhere en to watch the birds flying (sometimes really very close), taking a bath or eating.  And to listen to their songs and talks.

I love to sketch there and I got many ideas for my work and stories.

 It is for me also a nice place to feel again in harmony with life.

Pied Imperial Pigeon (Ducula bic)

If I am drawing it happens sometimes that they came very close to have a look...
