Once I'd seen the first I seemed to keep bumping into them over on Elmley.Good to see you having a go at these cracking birds and don't be put off, we all have those doldrum periods but in the end you'll always come back to it now 'cos the sketching bug has bitten!Keep your eyes open at Oare if you're down that way, like the spoonbills, I turn up there every now and then! I can be identified by my overall rounded shape, my camo plumage and the sketchbook sticking out at the side!Mike</blockquote>
