FRODSHAM, Cheshire - Rose-coloured Starling sketches done while watching the bird the end of this week, interesting to see how long all these birds will stay in the UK @RareBirdAlertUK @BirdGuides @CHESHIREBIRDING
Full cover spread for THE BIRDS OF CHEW VALLEY LAKE by Keith Vinicombe rear cover, spine illustration of 'Merv' the Merganser a well known Chew resident! Only been to Chew a few times in the last 25 years but very entertaining recounts of some of the best days by Keith!
YELLOW-BROWED WARBLER - @jacksons_art own brand artist watercolours on #archespaper for @FlamboroughBird bird report, another one finished hope we all get to hunt for these in the autumn. @RareBirdAlertUK @BirdGuides
Uploading more retrospective records to @Team_eBird , this AZURE-WINGED MAGPIE sketch from a great trip to Spain 14 years ago with @LeeEvansBirding @RobertFuge and I think Mike Frosdick! on Daler Sketchbook, a very thin paper, not suited to the way I paint now.
Cheshire's first SIBERIAN STONECHAT for the cover of next CAWOS Bird News on @StCuthbertsMill Classic Block with @jacksons_art own brand watercolours #cheshirebirds #rarebirds @RareBirdAlertUK @BirdGuides @CHESHIREBIRDING
Another notebook sketch, this one of a G G SHRIKE on Swallow Moss @Staffsbirdnews 11 years ago, more uploads to @Team_eBird this was late afternoon in low sun.
