An idea popped into my head, an overly worn theme of mine I know 😳! Of 2 iconic symbols of Northumberland, painted here in watercolours. Have a good night all 👍

I did a similar project during the first year of the pandemic, only with Canadian endangered birds. Here’s my Curlew.

New paper: Curlew are less willing to take off in low-light, an effect largely governed by light pollution. Artificial light at night appears to cause birds to trade off risky low-light flight against predation risk and foraging opportunities.

Far eastern curlew (Numenius madagascariensis)

This beautiful endangered migrant flies Mongolia/Siberia to Australia, where its numbers have declined by 80% in the past 30 years. 😥

Mucking about in mud at Middlehaven - curlews and redshanks feeding whilst herring gulls take a break from mussel hunting - quick lunch-hour sketch with colour added later

Breton fisherfolk believed when someone died at sea, gulls and curlews would beat their wings against the dead one's windows...

birbos
red is definitely a red cardinal attempt
the wall eyed one is meant to be an owl but looks like a hawk
fat blue one (ironically the fastest) is probably a dove? though I was looking at kookaburra pics.
yellow is my own invention but I was looking at australian curlews.

OK weather for Stone Curlew I guess. I was thwarted in my plan to check SC plot in cool of yesterday evening by a roosting male Marsh Harrier sat in the middle - he gave me a baleful squint and then went back to sleep.
