Super painting Fiona, loose and free, also great to have this on your doorstep. We were watching a great murmuration of starlings from the back of our house only yesterday. Lovely!

Love this, it says it all.

Good expressive sketch Fiona, rapid but under control in the main!

Lively and expressive with no fussing. Like it

Lovely capture and those Rooks do swarm and flutter , their cawing must be loud too , well painted Fiona!

Was scrolling down and just caught the top of this painting, I knew straight away who painted this! It has your free watery brush stoke style which I love (I could have been wrong) but was a good guess 😉. First class as always. 👍👍

Watercolour Stillman & Birn sketchbook. This Rookery of mature Beech trees is about 300 yards from the house, it’s a winter roost for Rooks and Jackdaws…..thank goodness it isn’t a summer roost and nesting site! When I watch them rise and fall into the trees my stomach does somersaults…..I love to watch them and listen to the chattering, catching up with the days news…..and best fields to visit. Painted from the front window.
