| (Click over sketch to enlarge) On Wednesday March 18th 2015 we were very priviliged at Hutton Roof to receive the 2nd Great Grey Shirike which I managed to personally see them both on the 24th. The second bird is of a darker phase than the bird that has overwintered with us. I just thought I would do this sketch to make note of the additional bird and for the first bird to lay down the ground rules to the new arrival. No. 1 rule is that the Shrike must appear at least twice a day for the benefit of the local birdwatchers!  Another version showing one shrike looking down to the other Shrike in a "subordinate" pose whilst instructions eg: ground rules are given. |
This is my artistic blog! with some offerings of my local poetry, together with some sketches, articles, and even photographs. I do hope you enjoy my work just as much as I have creating it.
