Another environmental impact happened this week - this time a natural one. We were ravaged by terrific storms for several days. This week about 100 grey phalaropes have been blown to Orkney - amazing sight!
This unfortunate bird was found having damaged itself on fence-wire. It had completely lost a wing and was humanely dispatched on site and delivered to me.
I made a coupe of studies this evening - watercolour 12"x10".

Tim,
Yet another great study. Strange I always thought they only had one wing and leg anyway, must be some reason they go round in circles.
You might want to check your calender on the mainland it was 30th October.
Congratulations on breaking the 2000, excellent thread, long may it continue.

Ha - well spotted Paul, many thanks! It would have caused some confusion in years to come, I'm sure.
Three-yard hedgehogs Mike? Is that the type that's been converted from spikey balls into welcome mats by use of a vehicle?

That's super- I'm really intrigued by how much is done by fine lines and how little by smudging and blending.

I can't refuse a shag or two t and this is an attempt to keep the detail in the birds to a minimum. They are, after all, the loveliest shapes, so I'm trying to let that come through.
Also - curious that the charcoal-thing is being flagged up. My very first posts on this near-ancient thread were in that very medium (crap drawings, though).

Hi Tim,
Lovely charcoal work, both are excellent, though have a preference for the Eider personally due to the sense of energy in the piece. Great to see these, love black and white work an as regards charcoal I like the medium enormously and intrigued to see how others use it. (I am much more of a smudger and often go back in with white chalk to add highlights.) The cleaner lines here are great though and add a great deal of freshness and energy, thanks for posting....
