Seeing as that you will all have missed the master at work - ah, ah, ah -  I thought it was high-time I got back on the art forum. In a world now ruled by the man with the lens I have to get my art fix somewhere!I'd like to share some 'interpretations' of some of the wonderful birds I came across recently on a fab trip to northern India. For a start my new avatar's a rather classy male Golden Bush Robin - which I had the pleasure of seeing as our team photographer 'took it's soul!' Alas I've no lovely watercolour to show you of this dandy bird, though!Big things which perch up are obviously easier - like owls!Sketches of Tawny fish Owl (I had to sketch his bird in an awkward position on a cramped jeep - not allowed out in case I ended up like David Hunt - same tree, same species of owl, probably!) from Corbett NP. Also Brown Hawk Owl, Spotted Owlet and Indian Scops Owl at Baratphur.</blockquote>
