ooooh! Turtle doves! I want some of them - gorgeous birds, and superb sketches, particularly the portrait.

Arthur! It seems that I missed so much from your activities!
Exceptional fieldwork and a very sensitive depiction of Waders!

Delicate and delightful indeed. There is a site local to me where I see these guys, lovely birds to watch and a real sound of summer. Once again I'm getting jealous of you for having such wonderful garden visitors. Best I can manage at the moment is a sparrowhawk which seems to be getting regular!

some really excellent drawing full of character here, the soggy starling is so sprightly, I can just imagine him flicking himself around as he shakes himself dry. The spadger's great, excellent movement.

more wonderful stuff - the first one is wonderful - surprising to see a bird in that position, but so natural.

I was stunned by the rooks in flight, that's just perfect, the positioning of wings and feathers, wow! And the starlings are just beautiful.

oh yes! I'm looking forward to this one already - very dynamic composition, full of tension, those rooks are just going to squabble off the paper!
