These are two different birds in two different spots, but they were both being very vocal. The first one was honking like a goose when I first saw him. :lol:

This second one was sitting on the roof of the visitor center and making the most bizarre "glug-glug" noise every time someone walked underneath him. I seriously couldn't stop laughing.

Crows are better, because they don't talk with a lisp ;)

Wow congratulations! That's really cool!

What did you play (the music not the instrument) if I may ask?

It’s just etudes from the artistic studies from the French school book. Pages 49, 52, and 62, specifically.

I've made a flag.

I mean I applied different layers of cloth over each other, fixated them and afterwards used a piece of thread to highlight the outlines and add a few details. Now I have a seadragon winding itself around a beacon.

I have used a slightly similar technique before, but never with the thread for highlighting and never with a picture so complicated. And although there are lots of mistakes, I am really happy how it turned out.

That's Sorana's crest, in case you're interested.
