I am just glad I never tried scientific drawing, eight weeks on a fish would seem like a lifetime, even for someone that works in coloured pencils. Gorgeous rendition of the woodcock.

Fantastic studies Tim!
Though Tunnicliffe's measured drawings are extremely detailed I prefer your approach to the subject
because they are more lifelike and show volume...

Indeed it does! And I'm willing to bet if you'd continued in the calipers tradition these sketches would not have the liveliness that they do.

I'm back home (following a visit to me old ma who's in hospital) and meeting up with a few old friends; nuthatch, treecreeper, great-spotted wood, magpie, blue/great/coal tits - all of which would be real MEGAs for Orkney and tawny and little owls, which means I've seen six British owls this year - just missing eagle from the list (I think?). Blackgame from the train at Rogart was nice too.
Catalogues are back home too, eventually - hurrah!

hope your ma is getting better, and I'm jealous of all the owls, I only hear them a lot, and never see any. Can't wait for my catalog. Let me know where and how to send the money. :t:

Wishing your Ma a speedy recovery. Enjoy those alien mainland birds. Ditto for me for the catalogue. Just don't send it by crane, the sod bypassed Besançon by miles!

'KES' - 40 Years On

With no apologies - this article is from my home parish newsletter 'Tankersley' - the film was mainly based there and in Hoyland Common, The author Barry Hines was my elder brother's form master at Kirk Balk school, the school where I met my future wife and mother to our children.

That kestrel's make-up is extraordinarily good, you wouldn't recognise it as a kestrel....

The images wouldn't come up or me - can you see them Mike? The first pic should be of 'Kes' - but in the article the've done a 'Daily Mail' and subbed it with a Buzz. The rest of the article is fairly accurate though.
Here's what should be inserted . . .
