    Tim it vanished the day after I saw it, suspected snuffed it or predated, since it didn't reappear anywhere else - if it was fit I'm sure it would have found it's way to the dead whale on the beach at the north end of South Uist that's providing an a la carte menu for 12-15 glaucous gulls at...

    Peter - that quail takes me back to my Ariziona trips. Good to see a couple of new folk on here too - I'm never brave enough to be as minimalist as Maria and the I echo the comments on the graphic appeal of the avocets - though only useful as a tattoo if you're joining the paramilitary wing of...

    Some new stuff, but in colour - managed a trip to the UAE last month, both of these species were high on the 'wanted list'. Cheers, Andrew

    Been away for a while, dunno if I take much more of Peter's excellent stuff, oh ok then.....the egret's a belter. Must get around to doing some newer stuff, but a friend recently brought me an envelope full of old pen 'n' inks that I'd supplied for many an old Ayrshire and Scottish Bird Report...

    Whatdyamean that merg's not finished - looks fine to me! Had a stab at painting again but jeez I'm rusty - all too flat & stiff. Anyway here's a few bits & bobs....only the rough golden eagle sketches are recent. cheers, Andrew

    Peter - it's definitely ducks unlimited with you - some of the best wildfowl work I've seen for a long while! Here's a couple more things I stumbled across....some east coast sparrows from a USA trip in 1994! (never quite got around to the bobolinks at the bottom of the page!!) and a...

    Tim - you are right it was a BB comp entry - didn't win but was in the exhibition. Jomo - sadly not a Maggy, but a yellow-rumped, and yes it was one from South Uist which I found in October a few years back - it was lurking in a small walled garden. Great little birds the Dendroicas -...

    Ooh it's all gone a bit Carry On!! Can't keep up really - lots of lovely stuff again Paschalis - larks are spot on, Peter - I think everyone's used all the available adjectives for your mini-marvels! Anyway inspired by Peters small wonders here's something that was again a competition entry...

    Peter those mini pics are fantastic - you forget how good red-wings are cause they are so common. A worked up sketch of a local buzzard drying off after a bath from last week, is my humble offering after seeing Peter and hunterpaul's recent stuff. Cheers, Andrew

    Crackin 'crest! That r-n stint's getting there - feather tracts can be a real pain - looking at those anatomical/topographical birds you get in the front of field guides in conjunction with looking at good photos and of course watching real birds will help sort out exactly how things lie...

    The peregrines were a pair that I used to monitor on the mainland of Scotland which suffered from having eggs and young knicked on a regular basis. There was a neat hollow in the cliff where you could watch them without them seeing you - the spring display was fantastic. All the black n...

    Paschalis - top drawer as usual! and landscapes with water that looks wet - I envy folk who can get that to work! Anyway here's a few more mostly ancient history from the early 1990s, and the nearest you'll get to a Christmas robin from me. Oh and inspired by that GG Owl sketch -a funny photo...

    Gerdwicher....I thought I went overboard with coloured pencils...but those deer are just 'stag'gering (sorry couldn't resist), brilliant. Some more single bird compositions from me - badly photographed under artificial light (no real daylight for 2 days thanks to the rain!) so the colours ain't...

    Ta for all the positive comments, have to confess that some of my black & white stuff has been used in various UK Bird Reports over the years. I do tend to do more illustraterly-like (if that's a word) stuff. Steller's should be renamed stellar - awesome bird - Steve Cale who I mentioned has...

    Seeing as this is open to anyone I'd thought I'd chip in. I've always drawn birds but I'm not really an artist - tend to do pen & ink and coloured pencil (watercolour pencils as soft pencils). Have tried painting in watercolour and acrylic but don't do it often enough to get it right! -...
