Driving back from a few days in Cornwall this afternoon and I am fairly sure there was a dead Golden Pheasant by the side of the road about four miles past the Roadford turn off. I was driving at 70mph at the time so can't be totally sure. Shame it had to fly all the way from Norfolk and then get killed!!!!. Roger

It was interesting to watch a Rock Pipit the other day. It rose into the air like a skylark although only about 20 metres. It then descended as skylarks do too.
For anyone interested in wildlife art painted in the field by artists/wildlife enthusiasts there is an exhibition at the Goodwin Gallery, Petroc Brannams Campus Barnstaple. It runs from Monday 16 April to Friday 11 May 2012 10am to 4pm
Please search the following if you need any further information:
www.drawnfromnature.co.uk
You can find there contact details of Petroc plus examples of some of the work available from perhaps people you have met while out in the field yourself.
Wildlife painter and illustrator Warren Collum organised this exciting exhibition that brings together the work of some of Britain’s leading wildlife artists who choose to work directly from life in the field. They have developed methods of drawing and painting rapidly on the spot and concentrate on capturing the life and vitality of their subjects rather than producing detailed portraits. This fresh and honest approach captures the enjoyment of watching wildlife in the field and records many beautifully observed ‘moments in time’.
Please can you pass this information to anyone you know has an interest in Natural History or in Wildlife Art

Lundy Island
Hi. Just read your few words about the Heron at Fremington key. Often run my boat Willow up the estuary and to Lundy Island. Have had many bird watchers asking about trips to lundy and just joined this forum. Have you any advise on how to get the word out on the forum that I offer this service. Willow is a fully coded boat. Many thanks
