Nuthatch.
Pheasant chick.
Jackdaw concept.
Pied Wagtail. Charcoal and pencil, dated 26th May 2010. It would appear that I can draw them, just never tried to mount them. Field sketch today by the lake. Oh to have a job!!!!, but arhh the self indulgence of it all.

Red-Throated Diver. This bird drowned in an inshore fishing net. Decided to mount the bird swimming and with nest and eggs. Very much in the style of TE Gunn of Norwich, but unlike Gunn perspex is availabe which allows the bird to be placed at the correct level in the water.

First we start with images for the birds and also the case

Pictoral view of a pending mordern case of Hooded Crows. Another collaborative effort, with a nest scene. Uncertain as to whether we should incorporate chicks and or eggs into this scene currently

Pictoral view of a pending mordern case of Great Crested Grebes. Another collaborative effort, with a nest scene. Unclear as to whether we should incorporate eggs into this scene currently. One bird will be swimming and the other on the nest raft. Most grebes were unfortunately mounted like Penguins, which frankly is a waste of such a fabulous bird.

White Winged Scoter (Male). First we started with the above image and decided that the placement of the bird looked authentic. That said it may change and perhaps over the course of the case development it will change. These cases are not thrown together like some do. Oh and never for sale. Too many hours go into the cases to make them affordable by most. The case of Harlequin ducks have already been created, as have the Ring Necked Ducks also. North Atlantic Eiders will be next. It was finally decided that the drake would sit on the rock and not stand.


Scaup ducks. First we started with the above image and decided that the placement of the birds looked authentic. That said it may change and perhaps over the course of the case development it will change. These cases are not thrown together like some do. Oh and never for sale. Too many hours go into the cases to make them affordable by most. This case shall be paired with the Harlequin ducks that have already been created. Once the Scaup case is done Burrows Goldeneye or North Atlantic Eiders will be next. It was finally decided that the drake would sit on the rock and not stand and that the position of the hen would remain the same.


North Atlantic Eider ducks. First we started with the above image and decided that the placement of the bird looked authentic. That said it may change and perhaps over the course of the case development it will change. These cases are not thrown together like some do. Oh and never for sale. Too many hours go into the cases to make them affordable by most. The case of Harlequin ducks have already been created, as have the Ring Necked Ducks also. North Atlantic Eiders will be next. It was finally decided that the drake would sit on the rock and not stand.


North Atlantic Long tailed Duck drawing as the concept for this case.


North Atlantic Surf Scoter ducks. First we started with the above image and decided that the placement of the bird looked authentic. That said it may change and perhaps over the course of the case development it will change. These cases are not thrown together like some do. Oh and never for sale. Too many hours go into the cases to make them affordable by most. The case of Harlequin ducks have already been created, as have the Ring Necked Ducks also. North Atlantic Eiders will be next.


North Atlantic Goldeneye duck and Shelduck, was finally drawn to look like this.

First we started with the above image and decided that the placement of the birds was wrong. That said we decided that the goose swimming made sense.
