Kingfisher on the board (or should that be Broad?) 2

 

Here is the next update, later than I had hoped, as have been working on other projects. As you can see, the beak and front of the face are 90% of the way there... I 'tweak' as I go along. I am now working on the head feathers to get the right tonal values and contours. I was going to put some moss in it's beak, but it just looked wrong, so that was dispatched and over painted.  Pleased with how it is standing out from the dark background... and hope to post the next update faster than the last 8-)
