The cuckoo and its marsh warbler mother…
I was always fascinated by this picture.

My father has a book about oscine birds to identify all the species and one of the first pictures is this one.
I don’t know why I chose this for my first painting in photoshop… I just had to try it I guess… ^__~
I like the birds and the branch, but I have still a long way to go to get the leaves right… the picture had 4 leaves originally, but after two I thought it’s good enough for me ^___^
