Happy 99th birthday to the man who gave voice to the wild. 🎉

Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with wisdom, wonder, and grace.

You've inspired generations to fall in love with nature.

My Marbled White butterflies are one of my most popular designs, so I thought I'd draw a Swallowtail next. Graphite drawing, from a beautiful reference photo by Jo Goudie. The original is available to purchase.

Tawny Owl is a species I hear regularly from my garden, so it's lovely to draw one 😊 Graphite on Bristol board, just 15 cm tall. Drawn from a beautiful reference photo by Andy Wilson.

Only a few hours left to bid on my Puffin in the Explorers Against Extinction charity auction. It's currently going for £120, which is great, but still a bargain 😉 The auction closes from 7 pm tonight so don't miss out. #seabirds #puffin

So, it's nearly 2025. What should I do more often in terms of personal drawings next year? I have some ideas, but what do you think... birds, mammals, insects or all of the above? All reference images used with permission. #graphiteart #britishwildlife

It's #superseabirdsunday so here are some of my seabird drawings. All drawn in graphite on Bristol board.

You have to love a Crested Tit, right? I finally managed to get decent views of one up in Scotland last weekend and it was magical.

Graphite on Bristol board, drawn from a reference photo by Debra Pickering. The original is for sale on my website if anyone is interested.

Welcome to our new account! WWRG has been closely monitoring migratory waders on the Wash Estuary UK since 1959 and has noticed an interesting movement of wader enthusiasts to this location!

I had such a lovely commission recently. The beautiful Noodle's family had to say goodbye to her earlier this year after a lifetime of love. I was asked to draw her as a puppy and in her older years as a birthday gift for her mum ❤️ Both A4, graphite on Bristol board, from client ref photos.
