I'd love to see a Lapwing painting from you Arthur so I'm looking forward to this. And I thought I'd commented on the last sketches but maybe only in my imagination! In any case though I liked them all the ones that really struck me was the herons in upper right of the last one I think, where they bend their necks off to left but keep their heads straight. A very typical pose for a Great Blue Heron here but one I've yet to capture! These do it beautifully!

And thanks for the ref as well. I'm now even more impressed by the tonal richness of those pen drawings.
 
Brilliant to see sketchbook pages like this! For me looking into sketchbooks is as good as, ahem, looking at stuff from the top shelf of WHSmiths, except that they no longer keep them in stock!
Seriously, these lappy and heron sketches offer wonderful insights into another world - let's have plenty more.

Half term ,putting things out of reach ready for the grandkids coming up for a week. knackering but thoroughly enjoyable.

have fun with the grandkids - but don't forget to come back to this one asap! There is a spring like quality in there already, and as I woke up today to find there is a dusting of snow, I think looking at these lappys on a bright green backdrop is just the therapy I need.
 
Very interesting to watch this develop, Arthur. Looking splendid so far - a quintessential English scene, and one that we must hope never vanishes. Your sky diving lappie has inspired me to make 'Birds in flight' my summer project! Why the summer? So I can sit out for hours at a time and study birds like this without freezing my XXXX off!
