Flying Secretary Bird Page

A secretary bird soars over the African savanna with broad wings spread, long tail feathers streaming behind and its legs stretched for flight. Far below, a few grasses and a small acacia tree suggest a wide landscape without crowding the page. Try grey wings with black tips, a pale body, orange-red face markings and pinkish legs. Begin near the centre of each wing and colour outward along the large feather shapes so the bird looks as if it is gliding. Add golden grass, green acacia leaves and a light blue sky, or create a sunset with yellow, peach and soft pink bands behind the flying bird.
