Now that restrictions are lifting, I am looking forward to a few trips to London. I have always been a bit of a West End Girl and usually get the train to Victoria or Charing Cross, although I do love the walk from London Bridge past Tate Modern to Waterloo and over towards Covent Garden, … Continue reading Birds of Westminster
Arlington Reservoir on a Beautiful Day
I'm not sure if this really counts as low-carbon birding in the strictest sense, but I was passing in my car so parked up and took Ned for a walk around the perimeter path at Arlington Reservoir. I had ambitiously packed my sketchbook and pencil but realised soon after that the birds were too far … Continue reading Arlington Reservoir on a Beautiful Day
Introducing Birds of the South Downs
They have arrived! I am really pleased with how they look, and have commandeered myself a copy to take out and about on the South Downs. It's more of a connoisseur's logbook, with a few tricky species to keep a look out for in the National Park as well as some favourites. These logbooks have … Continue reading Introducing Birds of the South Downs
Selling Booklets
My birdwatching logbooks are starting to get known, and they have done well with the 'little gift' and stocking filler market that Christmas encompasses. I have procured some stands, and this means the books can be displayed upright and front-on which really is necessary. Having a stand with a number of sections invites a picking … Continue reading Selling Booklets
Another Stonechat, and BotSD
I decided to paint another Stonechat for Birds of the South Downs as my other painting is a bit too stylised. I used a mixture of references but here he is: I used to get worried about the patchy gouache on this paper but in fact I rather like it as it shows the strokes. … Continue reading Another Stonechat, and BotSD
A walk at Rye Harbour Nature Reserve
I felt I needed a day off. I love what I do and consequently find it tricky to let go of projects that need input, and that's before we get to the domestic duties that come with a menagerie of animals and three young adults living at home. I decided to visit Rye Harbour as … Continue reading A walk at Rye Harbour Nature Reserve
Postcard love
I may have had rather a lot of fun my Moo order. I want to use these a) to sell and b) as promotional material and c) as business cards and I think they look really nice. They showcase the other titles, and I have always liked postcards and have a huge collection from various … Continue reading Postcard love
New Peregrine Falcon painting
Peregrines feature quite a lot in my Birdwatching Logbooks and I love the previous gouache and oil paintings I have done. They are my son's favourite bird, and they live in the chalk cliffs and over the South Downs near Lewes, so they occasionally visit the fields behind my house to prey on the pigeons … Continue reading New Peregrine Falcon painting
Miniature Birdwatching Logbooks
Ohh these are too cute, even though I do say so myself. I needed new business cards and as mentioned in yesterday's post, I use MOO - have done for years. I realised that they did rounded corners, and if I had them portrait rather than landscape, the jacket covers I upload to Nielsen Book … Continue reading Miniature Birdwatching Logbooks
Introducing the Birds of Arundel
I have had a fondness for Arundel WWT as I have been visiting for years - I remember feeding the geese and swans there when I was a little girl. Cue a photo from the family archive (thanks Mum!) with my 70's knee socks, plimsolls, velour shorts and bowl cut... It was also the place … Continue reading Introducing the Birds of Arundel
