Juvenile Dunlins, Curlew Sandpipers and Tundra Ringed Plover painted at Titchwell today - lots of young waders on the coast at present. @RSPBTitchwell @RSPBbirders
Curlews preening amongst samphire - forgive this series of field sketches being a bit similar but I'm enjoying trying to suss out all the different postitions that the preening birds get themselves into
5 August was a bogey date for the English in the Curlews. 1603 Lord Dunkellin took a hammering 'the vanguard whereof...showed their backs [turned & ran] the example whereof stroke such a terror in the rest as by all the force we could use we cold not hold our forces from running'
I did a quick draw of one of my player's pets. I call these Opal Curlews (they're really similar to the Pearl Curlews found one Faerûn)
'The wind is hard from the west,
a skein of voices in it, thin but clear
as curlews’. Their songs’ rising
crests the brown moor and flies.'

Far Eastern curlew[ホウロクシギ]
絶滅危惧種であるホウロクシギ。
だいぶ私なりのアレンジが入ってしまっていますが、
こうやって絶滅危惧種の動物たちに絵を通して興味を持ってもらえたらいいな。

#WorldCurlewDay here are various styles of one of my favourite subjects, Curlews @waderquest @CurlewCountry @swlanaturaleye @_BTO @Natures_Voice
Happy National Curlew Day. Here are four of the five curlews we have in Ragleth Gallery ; sadly about the same number as are in the hills around Church Stretton. #nationalcurlewday #curlew #strettonhills #shropshirehills
It's World Curlew Day on the 21st April!
There's fewer than 400 pairs left in Wales, they'll be extinct as a breeding bird in 10 years if people don’t care for them.
What can you do:
- Report sightings
- keep dogs on leads at breeding time
- support groups working on them
A bit of lockdown watercolour sketching #DrawABirdDay for World Curlew day , April 21st . Hope all are okay,- sketching is a great activity to take your mind off things
Morning lockdown birders. Today's #BirdyOfTheDay is the one most close to my heart, the Curlew. Born & raised in Haworth (100 years away from the Brontes & 10 miles away from Ted Hughes) I wandered the moors listening to 'the curlew’s tear turned its edge on the silence' . xx
Got a sky in today, lowered the near distant hills to highlight that lovely beak, which I hope works ? - See before & after, also a W/colour doodle - just love the Curlew ! Have as good weekend as possible all, in difficult & strange times, take care
This is lovely curlew squadron flying over the hills is hopefully now making scrapes on the ground. First eggs laid around April 21st - which is World Curlew Day! Let's love our curlews. https://t.co/tOff4cJdEA @CurlewAction @WCDApril21 https://t.co/XOAkkmAk5D @Cozzartist
Was really looking forward to surveying the Northumberland Curlews this Spring, just have to hope that a silver lining might be a good breeding year with the moors being undisturbed, watercolour sketch. Take care all #curlew
My Dartmoor foals Swift and Curlew now age 13. Painted this early in the morning fighting anxiety. Doing art combats anxiety as it engages our creative intellect which then pushes anxiety away @Devon_Hour
Nice little feature on the @BBCSpringwatch Winterwatch with one of my favorite birds, the curlew, here's my drawing of one, ink pen and watercolour #Winterwatch #Scotland #art #nature #ink #illustration #winter #britishwildlife #birdgeek #birdwatching
I often despair over watercolour, but sometimes rejoice - this started as a Curlew 🤔 but then an Eider emerged! Calling it “Eider on an icy sea” 😉 It tells me best results when subconscious takes over, just let paint wander. Many thanks for the feedback, have a good night all👍
