Grey Wagtail

Illustration of a Grey Wagtail perched on a rocky outcrop above a river, poised and alert as it waits for food. The bird’s delicate form contrasts against the textured rocks and open sky, evoking grace and stillness in motion.
The Grey Wagtail has always fascinated me — light, quick, and full of understated beauty. This illustration captures a fleeting pause in its constant dance across rivers and streams, as it waits patiently on a rocky perch. It’s about balance and attentiveness — that moment between stillness and flight where nature holds its breath.
