Got It Covered!

Bang goes my intent to update my blog every two weeks! Inclement weather and internet demons have recently put paid to this! Here's a double bill to hopefully get me back on track!
It's been an ambition to produce something to adorn a bird report cover for some time now. So here's my first proper attempt - for the 2015 Carlton Marsh Natural History Report. It's rather safe but that's the point as I wanted something which will reproduce to a decent standard. Trial runs suggest it's a success and should look better with a nice white surround and bold black lettering above it.
The GWE was sketched at Old Moor in September and will almost certainly have been this regular individual which made a flying visit to the reserve during this period. Only 25 copies are likely to be published so it's likely to be a collector's item in a few decades! Watch this space!
Cheers
Russ
