New Link...

Please check out the new blog link in my Artists column on the right - Wildlife with Pen and Brush from Stuart Brocklehurst in Yorkshire ( not far from Dean Stables?). Great fieldwork right up my street....now, where's that sketchbook, its been too long.

This morning Jane was out with Bunty in the Village Wood and noticed two Red Squirrels up a pine. One seemed a tad too adventurous and went to the very tip of a topmost branch before falling off, and 50 feet to the ground below!

Jane dashed, panic stricken, to rescue the daft tufty that must surely now be in a bad way, only to see it leg it back up the tree to meet its friend and carry on as before...

Made of stern stuff these lads....

Thanks for the recommendation and link Stewart. You've got some great stuff on this site and I like the drawings on your web pages. The Great northern Diver drawings are superb.

Just worked out what the rumbling kern is , I am a bit slow, If you had been a bit further north, Tales from the Swine Den, would have got you loads of hits, not too far though as you come into Nacker Hole.Liked that art link that Lino cut is fantastic.
