My, Emma, that's one magnificent sky! All the more for the limitation of palette and the mood created. I always find the grouping of birds difficult to get right, you always succeed. Wonderful watercolour.

Very nicely rendered watercolour Emma, you do these tiny birds in flight so effortlessly!

Beautiful sky, love the birds and the little scotors paddling along.

Wow Emma what a wonderful sky it's very moody with rain in the distance, the birds are placed just right above the clouds

Whatever the weather, the birds’ activity marks the changing seasons; the little terns have fledged, but they’re still here, the young birds waiting impatiently on the beach while the adults fish. Not long before they’ll be migrating to west Africa. The common scoters - little black sea ducks - are travelling back from their breeding grounds in the north but may end up off the Spanish coast. I rarely get a better view than these little black dots, low in the waves. Watercolour on Bockingford CP, 14 x10"
