Yesterday was my monthly Watercolour Nature Journal Class & we did daffodils! Having previously been terrified of any kind of paint, I'm beginning to enjoy watercolours. Also love exercises like sketching without looking at the paper, not taking the pencil off, or drawing with non-dominant hand...
Another species struggling

Or me...
It's got a good record for Canvasbacks...
Is it Irish?
How long has that been there?
12 of those can be found in North Northumberland vc68...some very commonly like HWD, NMO, Bloody CB etc..
Yeah, I liked it too, I might try again...👍
From 32 years ago! Divers. Three drawings put together so not to scale... pre watercolour years...

This Rough-legged Buzzard was a surprise find from the roadside near Moffat this afternoon! A smart looking bird and the first I've seen since the Wanlockhead bird many years ago. #BirdingScotland
Delivery Due around 14th March...👍
Ordered using my Amazon gift voucher...👍
Yes, 2 sites around us since new year..
Hasn't been 1.29 here since 2015!
2/2 Another pump at Amble 12 miles N, up to 147ppl a rise of 5ppl.
They're just money grabbing opportunists.
#EnergyCrisis
On Tues Faisal Islam BBC said pump prices shouldn't be affected at the minute as fuel already purchased at lower price.
That day, here, Diesel up 5ppl.
On Thurs am up another 7ppl and by afternoon another 2ppl. From 145p to 159p in 3 days. Up 14ppl. (Esso, Ashwood Business Park, Ashington) 1/2...
This is a Sandwich Tern to me. The pale bill tip makes the bill look shorter and the pink flush is the reflection off the bouy.
Canny Marc, you should keep it up. I used the have Zebras too, toot toot .👍
Aye certainly, cheers...👍
I've just had a batch of drawings returned that were done in the 90s for various newsletters, reports, atlas etc for #NTBC . After 30 years I expected the worst but most aren't bad! 🙂

If youd changed Woodcreeper to Woodpecker you'd get more hits...😊
