Kestrelia

Dense ink drawing of common kestrels overlapping in flight, perched and nesting beside a cluster of chicks

Common kestrels overlap in flight, at rest and around their young. Their wings and bodies fill the page, creating a sense of movement across the drawing.

From a distance, the birds merge into an abstract pattern. Up close, their feathers, faces and chicks come into view.
