It's beautiful already. I love the crest feathers blowing in the wind, keeping things moving.

superb stuff - hopefully I'll connect with one or two as I'm out tomorrow - but will be spending a large part of my time tape-luring grey-headed woodpeckers (getting very scarce here, so will be seeing if I can't find one or two in some unknown haunts - be a bloody miracle tbh - have only seen one and that was 6 years ago) Some lappies would be very nice compensation.

Congrats on 2000 posts on your thread too!

Ta all and Russ I love the challenge of trying to sketch birds in flight.
2 to go plus the grass

And the flying bird adds to the painting immeasurably.

beautiful! I was happy to find about 200 of them on my patch, some already checking out the recently cleaned island so hopefully we'll have a good few staying on to nest - also a golden plover with the flock, which is quite a rare bird here.

Really nice, Arthur! Makes me wish I would find a flock of them outside our window - not likely, however! Your composition gives a nice sense of their habitat as well.

I went for a walk around Tranent this afternoon before the Rugby, I walked from my house to the large pond at Blindwells. The best sighting was 5 Buzzards over the fields to the north of the town. The pond didn't have anything special on it, some Tufties, Herring Gulls, Black-headed Gulls and Coots. Lots of singing in the early Spring sunshine.

Great sprawk, Arth! Immensely difficult face-on profile got down to a T, sir. Funny how eyeballing a bird like this instantly captivates you and screams 'sketch me' much more than it would, say, a collared dove - and I like these, and so do sprawks!
