Black Patridge

An amazingly beautiful bird that I shot in Chappar-Chirri (Near Mohali). This is a game bird hunted and prosecuted over the years and survived so long - now loosing the battle to the so called development and loss of habitat. This watercolors are from the picture below... and ofcourse I have already been told that it seems that the bird is with only one leg - but don't have the courage to start and spoil the painting planning another one...
