First artwork I’ve finished in ages other than GSCE stuff - Spotted Flycatcher in watercolour and gouache
A few more shots of the Shag at West Kirby Marine Lake this evening.
Amazing day on the Cheshire Young Birders' Walk, with highlights being Velvet Scoter (lifer for me), lots of Brent Geese, a few Purple Sandpiper and a Shag very close to shore at West Kirby Marine Lake
Great views of the Slavonian Grebe at Attenborough NR today, a lot closer than the BNG! A bit different to seeing them in Scotland in the summer. @NottsBirders
Bramblings preparing to roost in Sherbrook Woods, a group of about 40 birds @BirdsDerbyshire @Derbyshirebirds
Mottled Umber (NFG) attracted to a lit window last night. #mothsmatter #teammoth @BritishMoths @DaNES_Insects
Another great day of birding with a lifer of White-fronted Goose at Loch Ken. Seawatch from Stranraer produced a Merlin, Red-throated Diver, 2 Red-breasted Mergansers and 8 Goldeneye. Also a big raft of ducks any ideas what they are? Maybe Eiders? Sorry for bad pics
Completed this drawing of a Ruddy Shelduck from the Scotland trip.
Over 4 nights in Arisaig, I trapped 221 moths/40 species. Many new moths for me, some highlights being Anomalous, Canary-shouldered Thorn, Pale Eggar and Centre-barred Sallow. #mothsmatter #teammoth @BritishMoths @savebutterflies
