The beautiful Black Kite is not a native species in the UK. This is a painting of Arwen, one of the birds at Kielder Water Birds of Prey Centre, in Northumberland. Arwen is quite a character who likes to steal people’s hats and fly off with them.

Many thanks to Ray and his team for letting me photograph and draw their beautiful birds. If you happen to be in the area, do go and visit.

11″x8″ watercolour and coloured pencil.

Original painting – £350
