Treecreeper.

     For the past few days now I've been frantically Googling pieces of information that I got from Wilf, trying to come up with something I can make into an image. Unfortunately, I find buildings insanely boring to draw, even really cool ones. However, one of my favourite stories of Wilf's took place on Reddish Vale; Stockport's very own wilderness. And, following another epiphany dream, I concocted an image in my brain that wouldn't make me want to kill myself through boredom after spending hours on it.
     I set about researching 
Reddish Vale; how it looked back then and what birds there were to be found (the story was about birds if you didn't guess). I even paid it a visit and saw myself a heron, which is weird since it's cold as balls out this time of year.

     Anyway, I discovered there are actually a whole bunch of gnarly birds that convene there, not just feetless pigeons and gulls..


Greater Spotted Woodpecker

Cormorant

Kestrel

Goosander (this one is dead obviously)

Grey Heron

Kingfisher

Treecreeper


     Those are but a few but they're probably the prettiest and have the best names (treecreeper is my favourite).

     Obviously I haven't referenced any of these images but they're from the internet so I'm sure you'll be able to find them.
