See also crap sketch of Wallcreeper above!Also Scaly-bellied sketched from the car on our way ooop to Nainital.Collared falconet was one of my must-see birds and this didn't disappoint except I had to sketch it using bins as, once again, I wasn't allowed to end up as Tiger-fodder. Shouldn't complain, though - it was the only one we had!Himalayan Buzzard at Nainital. This bird had a quite striking head pattern, making it very distinctive - perched up, anyway!Lastly, Immature Imperial Eagle at Bharatpur. I'd truly love to spend loads of time just watching and sketching BOP's. These were my best efforts from a 20 mins or so session with a very obliging bird. To do it properly how much time would I have to invest in this pursuit - untold hours, naturally!Many thanks for looking. I'll now look for new inspiration on this forum and be checking out the new work of you guys out there!CheersRuss</blockquote>
