making the most of a large gap between lessons yesterday:
also a photo of the area - the place has been quite extensively developed - the crisis slowed that down a little though! Most of the tree sparrows and cirl buntings have gone, but two pairs of shrike are clinging on.

Wow Nick, see lots of these birds, rarely though have I seen them so well captured as you have managed here. These make me want to get out sketching, though stuck in work for another ten days. These are almost a window to the outside world, near cruelty in fact, feel free to get out there and post more agony

What more can you say? They make you want to just drop everything and head out. You've made extremely good use of the time between lessons.

Delightful Shrike studies. A familiar bird in Poland, and one I miss very much!

Coincidentally, thinking across-threads to the new 'tatoo related' thread - I suggested that Melissa looks to some of the great art posted on the forum. I wonder just how much food for thought this particular thread serves up for prospective end-users - fabric designers, book-jacket designers, stained glass manufacturers, publishers and, of course, the rest of us painter-types who are lucky enough to get this finest of fare presented directy to our desktops!

yay! the shrikes have teenagers! two fledglings! one per family - with perhaps more hiding nearby. Plus plenty of ringlets, a marbled white or two and some rather bleached melodious warblers (but still yellowy so I'm not thinking olivaceous (unless olivaceous does a little call like a lesser whitethroat!) will post sketches when I get home!
good old Xeno-canto - typical melodious alarm call.
