I sit in my own garden and see House Finches up high and backlit so that there's always the same dull silhouette as my only subject matter. Then I come and see how well behaved your garden birds are Arthur, though I suspect artistic talent has a lot to do with that!

Superb - especially the way you've drawn the feet on that robin (sheet 3) - I'd kill to be able to draw feet as good as this!

Ken I have a ground feeder by the window and put the cane and fork for perching on. the cane is about six foot away and often look up to see a bird giving me the once over,feathered unfortunately at my age.

Beautiful sketches, full of life. The Dunnock is the highlight for me in this group - so few details and so unmistakable at the same time. Excellent work.

I'm going to have to stick an old fork in the garden Arthur and see if I find some birds will perch for me! I'd never thought of putting something in the garden for birds to perch on. I hope today to put up some tomato cages and then will hope that a hummingbird or two will eventually find his way to them.

I do love to see your delicate hand here Arthur, utterly unique style. What's not to love about a hunting spar? This looks like another winner in the making.

Looking good Arthur!
I love your pencil studies and as Tim already noticed, the first I`m also looking for is feet and beaks. These features are so important to me because they give the correct expression of each bird and you managed to capture this perfectly!

Brian a one off but what a tick for in the garden.

Paschalis I agree with you, but I would also add the eye for the size ratio and expression.

Thanks John.

After Jubilee celebrations a bit more done
