New painting in the pipeline, I have seen a couple of these in the last few days so it’s lovely to be sitting down and painting one.
I had one sat in a tree right by my garden, couldn’t get a better reference source!

That’s a wrap on Female Kestrel- 12x16inch watercolour on cold press.
Such a joy to do, so much learning on this piece. Moss was a new one for me!

The #BirdOfTheDay theme by @robcrank68.bsky.social is #Raptors — and I have so many in my Lightroom library, it was hard to choose.
Here’s the Black-winged Kite, showing off those striking red eyes.

Awesome day with @ianhayes.bsky.social being our guide today at ham wall/shapwick! lifers for me with hobby, whitethroat and the star of the show a bittern (which unfortunately for the others, only I saw briefly fly over the reeds!) windy conditions not ideal for birding, but a fabulous day!!! 💗

Enjoyable morning at Ham Wall/Shapwick with @devontess.bsky.social and Melissa. Plenty of Hobbies including a fine male perched up on Meare Heath. Common Tern briefly over Noah's . Bittern put in a brief appearance late on, a fine lifer for the one of us who picked it up!

Stunning walk with @clennonvalley.bsky.social today on the moors. Cuckoo, redpoll, whinchat, wheatear, garden warbler, redstart being the stars of the show. A lack of birds of prey, 3 buzzard and a kestrel.
Racked up the steps, so a glass of vino blanco is utterly deserved. #bird #birds #dartmoor

We then moved to stover after lunch at Parke- checked in with the beautiful mandarin ducks (little sis was very impressed by these) we also had 4 stock dove under the treetop walkway, and a couple of treecreeper.

Took my little sis out for a birding day today. We went first to yarner woods. Didn’t get the LSW, but plenty of pied flycatcher, willow warbler, goldcrest and the obligatory stonechat

More Hoopoe anyone? Stayed watching the bird at Berry Head until 8pm tonight. Feeding well and very tolerant of observers. Good to meet @devontess.bsky.social

Lovely morning, went to Broadsands to tick the Surf scoter off the list, then a lovely walk around longmarsh with the furry one. 11:15am- my offspring haven’t even surfaced to say happy Mother’s Day and I’ve already been out twice 😂

(2/2) we moved onto shapwick and Avalon- not a lot going on so left and went to cheddar reservoir where we lucked out with little gull and black necked grebe!
Thanks so much for having me @ianhayes.bsky.social
Back home via a detour for the blue-wag- no joy but I did get a nice water pipit 💗

A day out birding the Somerset levels!
Slow birding day, not a load going on at Ham wall (bitterns heard but not seen- so no lifer tick for me!) even the beardies didn’t show. We did see a ring- necked duck, a single leftover pintail and our first Hirundinidae of the year with a sand Martin. (1/2)
