A little crowd scene enacted for the Avon Bird Report 2010. (16th August 2011.)
To illustrate an article on Waders in the Severn Estuary. I chose Ringed Plover to be the generic Wader, as it has bold, contrasting plumage, which is striking in monochrome. But also makes interesting patterns in a group scene, making the eyes wander about pleasingly.
Painted with gouache in degrees of watered-down black, embellished with white and touched up with black water-colour pencil.
