[Art in Progress] Mrs Gould's Sunbird, Oriental Dollarbird and Rainbow Bee Eater

A weirdly fast turnover with these ones. Two are Australian birds, and one, the Rainbow Bee Eater is local to me. I remember the first time I saw them, I also saw their nesting burrows, which can be over a metre deep. Stunning little creatures.

I've been tired and depressed lately. I think a combination of the Patreon income steadily declining, and mostly just feeling like I don't really want to be doing anything, while being agitated and restless at the same time. Is it burnout? Or something else?
