I saw one at Fanel last weekend. I get the feeling a lot of them have moved on through, though. Haven't seen any reports on Ornitho.ch for a few days now.
However, Mike Bowman (Bittern on here) said something about a breeding population not too far over into France. Might want to PM him about it.
I might start work on another drawing this evening, given that there's nothing on the TV again...
The breeding pop Mike means is the one I'm off to look for (again!) It's well-publicised, and also has Bee eaters, Purple herons, Montagu's Harriers, Melodious Warblers and Golden orioles which I've seen there, and other goodies such as Stone Curlew, Bluethroat, Wryneck and Great Reed Warbler, which I'm not likely to see there, despite everyone else seeing them!
I wanna play...
(the bold ones would all be lifers for me...)
Finished!
Took a bit of time, this one. I'd got it finished and only then realised how awful the white paper background looked. I didn't fancy colouring in the whole piece of paper, but then I had an idea...
I got one of my kids' chalks and scraped off some of it with a knife onto the paper and rubbed it in. After a quick spray with fixative, viola, light green background...
I also drew a Yellow Wagtail, but didn't get a chance to scan it before I sent it on. Target for tonight is a Redwing.
