I do some painting myself mainly of wildfowl and it is certainly wildfowling where i get my inspiration from.I firmly believe that the best painters are those that are wildfowlers(google the name Julian Novorol if you are not familiar with his work)it gives you a much better understanding of the subject often in conditions that most birdwatchers/photographers may not always be out in.I am a keen birdwatcher,photographer and painter the inspiration for all of which comes from my love of shooting,wildfowling in particular.</blockquote>
