Buzzard this is some impressive work here. Love the spotted redshank, its a
real shame it didnt hang around.
Buzzard I checked out your blog spot and was also impressed with your
digiscoped images . I also use a Lieca 77 but dont get anything like
the quality your getting, wondering what I'm doin wrong?
keep showing the sketches they are top quality.

All your work is stunning - but I really love the simplicity of those simple line drawings (eg; Jackdaw).

Out for just a few hours to check on the Reserve at Sandemar, waders in evidence including a nice male Ruff in moult, 3 knot still in summer garb which would not settle. Managed some flight sketches, one of which I am very happy with...Ringed plover as always a great bird to draw.

Passerines from Sandemar, small portrait of Spotted Flycatcher, everywhere at the moment here and a wing flicking Whinchat who mobbed me for a while to get me off his turf! Brought out the cartoonist in me, couldnt resist his antics!
Off to work in a few hours but have Thursday and the weekend off, planning to get a lot done then. Thanks for the kind comments left here, has helped me to get out again today.

Woefully horrible work. I can't imagine you'd be wanting to keep any of these dreadful drawings, you may as well stick them on some w*nky auction site.
Er, but to save you the trouble of listing fees and the like I'll happily take them off your hands and, er, dispose of them satisfactorally.
(a brief translation may read: stop fecking about, get a bit of colour thrown on one or two of these and get a sell-out exhibition organised!!! - it's just WAITING for you!

I really like the flying knot and the whinchat. The sense of movement in those pictures, especially the whinchat, is amazing.

A bit late, but I wanted to say that I love the Whinchat's feet! As one who consistently messes up feet (I'm mean sketching them!), I think you've got these about perfect, and I am jealous!

Alan , Superb Sketching you have a great eye and technique.
I absolutly love the Winchat. The flying Knots are wonderful as
well. You seem to be in a great birding spot too.
Its so invigerating getting good feedback and definately spurs one
on to get out into the field again,
looking forward to that show!!

Feel guilty, its a Wryneck again. The minute I spotted it feeding on a clay bank I thought of young Derry scouring the green fields of Bescanson looking for the very critter! As it went on to sunbathe I felt a tinge of remorse. An hour later its still in front of me preening and I know there is no justice in the world. Sorry Nick but here she is from this morning....
Woodlark first. Then the star of the show.
