I spent 45 minutes in the dark watching 2 very cute Bilbies run/hop around and around the enclosure - tried to capture something of them- but they were never still! I filled 6 pages with sketches- these are a combo of the better of them (not saying much!)
I have to say that they are unbelievably cute and more like a mini kangaroo than a rabbit (or a rat) - run around like a kangaroo walks - if that makes sense.
Unfortunately the elephants were heading in for the night when I got to them at 4pm - so a few quick sketches of various animals. I need to go a little earlier in the day and sit at the one place for a few hours and see if I can manage a decent drawing. I find animals hard anytime- but get quite stressed drawing moving ones. I didn't take a pencil with me today to force myself to work in ink only.
Finished my afternoon with a cuppa at Balmoral Beach. Ah! so much easier- I am in control of the movement (or disappearance) of the cake!

Goodness! I just love these sketchbook pages! Last entry too! Thanks for explaining the Bilby in these pages. I truly didn't know, though I do think I've heard of it. Where was Borromini in the threatened page??
I love your zoo drawings!
