Welcome to Tuning into Birds





I both observe and record the behaviour and habits of birds through the changing seasons, using both the camera lens and my painting of birds.


The above composition was composed using watercolour and pastil from a series of pictures taken of a pair of Great Crested Grebes in my local park in early March.




I would be particularly interested in hearing from others who have observed this spectacular display of Grebes to see if others have observed similar sequences in the mating to my self.

  1. Excellent Clive - I really like the painting, there's a wonderful playfulness and naivety about it (I use the word here in it's artistic context)and a great use of colour. Looking forward to the experience with the Bittern.

  2. Thanks Tim, the Bittern action at Forest Farm will follow, paintings take time to be composed.
