fine work indeed, these would be great on the pages of any bird report (and a hell of a lot better than some of the crap I've had published in reports over the years!)

I can't help have the image of you sending in something that was like that on a five year old with a huge bill not really attached to the 'birds' head and huge legs and feet...

Thanks for the comments everyone
 
Hello All
As promised on Arthur's thread, I was inspired to get the pencils out.
I managed to tick an all time target bird yesterday - Red Footed Falcon at Tophill Low in Yorkshire.
Hope you like it, and I will try my hardest to keep this thread up to date and fit it in with my AS Digital Photography course.
Speaking of which, I have just this week had a photograph published in a calender - http://www.royalscotsgrey.com/ - you will need to look at the latest news and follow a few links, but mine is September 2009. it may be of a train, but I am still very proud. News should also come through of my Hooded Crow that may be published in Lancashire Bird Report 2007 in the coming weeks

love the clean shape of the outline sketch, very solid and proportioned. Nice use of pencil on the other one - I'll get to see a red foot one of these days! (Missed out on a flock of 40 this spring, ouch!)
 
well, I couldn't post a link from the site shown above, but i have found >>>this<<< which shows the photo too...its a very small image on there and it can't be made any larger but you can at least see the image in extreme thumbnail.

For anybody who is interested
this is the actual calender that I have had a picture Published in.
It is A3 so the picture is nice and large (y)
