Thanks for the encouragement, Psilo. It's funny you should think it takes great patience to sketch in the outdoors - I've seen your photography and I'm sure you must spend ages on fieldcraft to get the images you do! - they're wonderful!!!psilo said:Absolutely wonderful!! you havea g reat eye for detail as well as a great talent. I wouldnt have the patience to sit there in the open and sketch, mainly because im more of a camera person. It takes amazing talent to capture it so well in the field, well done.

Hi Tizziec - maybe there's something 'Faustian' going on - your pact with the keeper of the pencils, or something.tizziec said:Beautiful scetches. Mine look like my five year old drew them LOL (actually I DO usually steal her pencils to do it)

I walk with my hands stuffed deep into my pockets to prevent my arms being ripped off at the shoulders. By the time the wind subsided, my willows and sycamores were stripped of all foliage, standing starkly against the grey tones of sea and sky. Of course, after the winds have died, the fallout is apparent - warblers are everywhere, but they're tired.
The cat brought a male blackcap in - I was too late, he died in my hand with a trembling flutter. I drew him for reference.
The chiffchaff is from far away east, much paler and greyer than the ones I know from Yorkshire.
the willow warbler came a day later (as if by comparison with its close cousin).
