Blue Tit, watercolour

We recently installed a new nestbox on one of the beech trees in the garden, which immediately attracted the attention of a pair of inquisitive blue tits. They now seem to have taken up residence, chasing off any other birds that stray too close.
For my latest watercolour, I've depicted one of these delightful birds perched on the garden gate, where the splits and crevices in the old wood provide an excellent hunting ground for insects and spiders.
