day three-hundred-and-three - dalmatian pelican

or pelecanus crispus (the crispiest of all pelicans)

day two-hundred-and-fifty-one - pelican

or 'albatross' as one particularly ignorant zoo-goer told their child

deary me! what are our future zoologists going to be like if that's what they're told as children?

more angular animals. i like him all stylised and such but really should spend more effort on my drawings in the future.

p.s. 'tis my manfriend's birthday so i certainly chose the worst day ever to catch up on my missed artings!
