I've finally got round to doing a long overdue update of my blog, it's just having the time to do it. Rather than just talking about birds I think I'm going to extend it to creative / painting issues as well, especially as I often encounter difficulties when it comes to painting. I'm sure it's not just me, a good many artists out there can probably relate to this also.<br />
<br />
Last October 31st (2014), I set out to Blakeney Point armed with a sheet of 56x76, determined to paint something memorable that day whatever it might be. I had envisaged a Goldcrest in a Hawthorn maybe, but as is so often the case when one has a goal in mind one is so often disappointed - I never saw a Goldcrest that day, and the Hawthorn I was thinking of was nothing like how I'd imagined it! So I abandoned that, and decided not to stress about it. Later I ended up by the Plantation, and after a while noticed life in there, a couple of Chiffchaffs to be precise. Well beggars can't be choosers so I started sketching them in, directly in paint. I always find that difficult to do, but it stems partly from the desperation of wanting to get an image onto the page as fast as possible. Being faced with such a maaassive sheet of paper is utterly daunting too - to be honest I'm stepping out of my comfort zone here, which is generally not bigger than A3: suddenly there is so much more white space to be covered.<br />

Not really knowing how to handle all those little leaves below this Chiffchaff, nor knowing how to paint in the branches behind it; it's starting to look messy. But you have to start somewhere and you need to block in some areas to bring out some kind of tonal contrast.<br />

This Chiffchaff looked ok, captured something of the light on it. I planned for it to just be sketches of Chiffchaffs in the field. <br />

But then as I so often do, I wanted it to be more than that, I wanted to
link them all together in one picture, so started to link the
vegetation together.<br />

And another nice image in the late afternoon light. It was so warm I even took my boots off to give my weary feet some air. Not often you can do that at the end of October!<br />

Then while I was working away, I suddenly noticed the presence of the moon - crikey, I have to have that in there, so I painted it in just where I'd seen it. There were also Redwings dropping out of the sky, just arriving on the left side of the picture - I never painted this in but was tempted to. I was bothered about the image getting too cluttered. So many decisions to make. Of course I could still add some Redwings yet. Perhaps I'll wait until I see some in the autumn and see how I feel then. That said I'm sure I'd want to start on a fresh sheet of paper and begin a new image rather than flogging a dead horse.<br />

So this was where I was at by the end of the day. By the time I'd made it back to my car near Coastguards it was already well and truly dark, but easy going along the beach in the moonlight. I was left with this unfinished sketch painting, with major scale issues - they are ok on their own, but combined they are giant size, way too big for the trees they are perched in. The arrangement of the birds on the page is ok, but the moon perhaps in the wrong place but I could not bring myself to move it to somewhere else. Not happy either with the washes of colour in the bottom right and the right middle of the image either, it would have been better left as blank white paper perhaps, or just a few dabs of colour.<br />

Fast forward to this July I wanted to try and finish this picture off, perhaps submit it to the SWLA exhibition this year, so I spent a whole lot more time at home, slaving away on it...<br />

eventually this was my final point, the end of the road. How do I feel now? Well I was still not happy with certain elements in the picture - mainly things I've already mentioned. There are parts of it I really like, like the colours and way I've used the paint in the bottom left corner - it has a completely different feel to say the area of branches in the upper/middle/right area. The chiffchaff and moon in the top right look ok too - that would be a picture on it's own. Maybe I should cut it up?!?! No, I can't do that!<br />
At the end of the day, I decided not to submit it, it's just too risky. Best just draw a line under it and put it down to experience. Here is the final version:<br />

So, on to other things... I am going to add a psoting on photographing your own artwork - it can be very difficult to do, but I have sussed it, with the help of Photoshop, will share in a while. I also will post up a few more pictures soon, including this beauty: a legendary one day Black-eared Wheatear in the New Forest. Not a tick, but a terrific bird to see, just wish I had a bit more time with it to really do justice to it. It was amazing how the single act of putting in the ultramarine shadow on the bird's breast suddenly give this picture life.<br />

The Egyptian Goose again, plus some Egyptian Goose chicks from the hide at Ixworth.<br />
<br />
One of the highlights of this April was the amazing passage of Ring Ouzels. I managed to see eight at Roydon Common NWT reserve where I spent many hours watching them one day. Up to 30 birds were seen here at this time, but I was more than happy with eight! The experience was very much marred by dog-walkers exercising dogs off the lead even though there are signs asking people to keep dogs on leads because of ground-nesting birds, and threats of £1,000 fines. What is it with people? Anyway, the sketches below are what I did in the time; not my best Ouzels, I have done better. Drawing /painting is very much about 'being in the zone' and getting your eye in, and being somehow relaxed enough to absorb what you are seeing and convey it on the page. To be honest there were hundreds of potential compositions and the light was stunning, I definitely failed to deliver when it came to a picture that captures the atmosphere of the occasion.<br />

Finally got round to seeing the Waxwing in Mildenhall; no-one else around but eventually tracked it down perched in an Alder tree and then dropping down to feed in Guelder Roses of a children's play area:<br />

Just recently I had a painting on display at the annual Society of Wildlife Artists exhibition in London. It was this painting of Gannets over Bass Rock. It worked out well I feel and involved a lot of thinking about the composition before I really got started. There's a lot of energy and movement going on and a lot to convey to the viewer. Putting the handrail in at the end was a scary moment but it really worked.<br />

It's been a while, but I thought I'd post up a few recent pictures.<br />
Two sketches of Wrynecks painted in the field on Blakeney Point, from back in August.<br />

Monday 14th July was a bit of a panic with the hot news of a Great Knot being found at Breydon Water. My car was off the road still, so I was thankful for a shared journey with <a href="https://twitter.com/sconebirding" target="_blank">Nick Moran</a>, <a href="http://www.bto.org/volunteer-surveys/birdtrack/bird-recording" target="_blank">BirdTrack</a> supremo that involved dropping his daughter off at her school first. When we arrived the bird was still present at a roost among Black-tailed Godwits and Avocets, although out of view. I set my scope up sitting comfortably on the roadside and when the bird appeared felt confident I'd pick it up when it waded into view. However, when the moment came it was taking off with 10 or so Golden Plover and I didn't get onto it! I couldn't hear the directions due to the din of the traffic. Eventually I picked up the plover flock so I kept on them, until they were so distant could not be discerned any more. They seemed destined for Cantley Beet factory, surely never to be seen again. I decided to console myself by painting other birds still present, so embarked on a landscape below to which I added a Whimbrel. There were so many potential subjects and compositions, it's hard to know where to begin!<br />

While I was working on this, and about to add more there was a movement among birders on the South shore, the rugby club side, and then on the north shore too, with people crossing the bridge over the river: the Great Knot had been relocated! I hurriedly packed up my stuff as quickly as I could and made my way, thankfully finally seeing the bird at 14.52 hours, albeit quite distantly. Yet even at ?400 m range it was instantly obvious as a Great Knot in summer plumage, a thrilling moment! Fractionally smaller than a Redshank and with a horizontal gait, head held hunched and with an oddly long bill compared with more familar waders. I hurriedly did the pencil sketches below. Pencil is fast and convenient; I couldn't mess around with watercolour when trying to capture the shape of something so unfamiliar. I then started the paint sketch below which has not caught it. But it's important to try [Actually I forgot I've cropped it from the scan, will have to re-scan]. At c. 15.25 the knot then decided to fly off south west into the distance.<br />

Later, news arrived that the bird had been relocated, 2km further along the south wall. What to do? I almost didn't bother as I couldn't face the long walk in the heat. Thankfully I decided to go for it and trudge the distance. Incredibly when I arrived, the bird was feeding unconcerned at ?250-300 m range, certainly excellent through my 'scope. I madly rushed off the sketches below; best to work in pencil, not get bogged down with water-colour, save that for later. I did put a few washes over the second pencil sketch below. Big dark spots extending from the breast sides onto the flanks. Also strongly chequered upper Scapulars; these summer plumage feathers completely lacked the rufous tone of fresh breeding birds, replaced instead by pale cream. I guess the rufous colour has been bleached out by sunlight.<br />

I wished I'd rushed straight here, I'd have had longer; remember for next time! Presently at around 16.30, the Great knot had other ideas and decided to fly over to the north side of the basin where it loosely associated with many Avocets and various gulls. Even at this distance the gait, size, slow movements and the distinctive black breast band still made this bird stand out. My friend Nick had meantime arrived back having left hours ago to get half a day's work in. Had it been a first year or in winter plumage it would have been slightly more of a challenge. After more time the Great Knot flew again, alone, this time north-east when I lost it in the direction of the hide on stilts on the north-east shore.<br />

Much later we were back on the north shore where we watched the bird again, mostly at 400 - 500 m range, and with several flight views allowing appreciation of its distinctive appearance in flight - long slender wings, slow, low, steady flight action, and a distinctive dark carpal patch on the upperwing.<br />
The sketches below attempt to capture this. I spent 12 hours in the field, definitely a good day even if I've not produced a definitive watercolour of the bird in situ. That's always a hard task to ask for.<br />

It's been a while since I last updated my blog, I've not done much lately. It has been quiet recently - no Waxwing invasion, no otters and no dippers this winter.<br />
These pictures are of the Brunnich's Guillemot at Portland that showed well despite intermittent squalls and high winds. <br />

A dead Merlin was recently passed to me for a short while. It was found out in the Fens near Feltwell having collided with a water butt. Next to it was a dead Skylark too. It must've been chasing the Skylark and both ended up colliding with the water butt. Such an unfortunate end for both birds. I have not finished work on the Merlin - painting takes so long, so I had to draw a line under it and get on with other things. So for now I have the Merlin temporarily in my deep freeze. I need to get on and paint it again in coming days.<br />
Meanwhile my efforts so far are below. Please note the Merlin did not have a dark tail band - it is just that my painting is UNFINISHED! <br />

A selection of sketches from mid November - Parrot Crossbills at Holt Country Park, seen for 30 minutes before they all flew off... Later a visit to Cley yielded many nice views of various wetland birds - a 1st winter Herring Gull, a 1w Caspian Gull that dropped in, Avocets and a Water Rail.<br />
Also pics of drake Teal on the Flood at Barnham Cross Common.<br />

I finally saw this nice female Ring Ouzel the other day on the Nunnery Lakes. I hadn't expected to see it, thinking it may have already departed, and there was no sign in its favoured bushes when I walked past them. However the arrival of a rainstorm forced me to seek shelter in the hide and it was during this time that the bird suddenly appeared feeding on a patch of bare stony earth. Later it was feeding on Hawthorn berries in the rain. When the sun eventually came out it was still showing well and looked different than in the overcast light.

En route back I called in at Hayling Island, Hampshire. The Semi-palmated Plover failed to materialise with the Ringed Plovers at Black Point as the tide came in. I headed along the coastline hoping to meet with some suitable habitat that might hold waders. There was almost nowhere suitable. Continuing westward along the shoreline I came toward a group of birders near groyne 25. I casually asked one who was just leaving, 'any sign of the bird?'. 'Yes' he said! Unbelievable! I had assumed it was nowhere to be found and that I had dipped... I rushed to join the gathering and was soon enjoying fantastic views of this rare bird. Such small size, dainty, with a very short bill, and white protruding above the gape line. Quite reminiscent of a smaller version of Lesser Sand Plover! I didn't actually hear it call which would have been good. Some have expressed the view that they're going to be regular in years to come now people know what to look for. But people have been looking for years, they just weren't there. If they do start being found more frequently then it will be because of changes in the source population rather than observer ID skills I reckon. <br />
Just as I left the skies turned grey and the heavens opened. The whole roosting flock took wing at this point and I don't think it was seen for the rest of the day, so I was very lucky to just manage to see it, and for a resonable length of time and close enough to see the detail too! Later on BBC news it was reported that a tornado passed through Hayling Island; this must have happened just after I'd left.<br />
