Poppy Seedhead

Friday 31st August 2001, West Yorkshire

Poppiesmy sketch AFTER SO MANY days away it's time to catch up on odd jobs, so this Opium Poppy seedhead is about all I have time to sketch today. It's already been torn apart, probably by Blue Tits which I've noticed in previous years pecking at the pepper-pot seedpods.
