Painting I was commissioned to do for an upcoming book about my local nature reserve here in North Yorkshire, UK.
All the digital paintings i made for the book are of real places. It was so lovely to be asked to illustrate my home and fun trying to capture the seasonal light and mood of somewhere I know so well!
Here is a lesser spotted woodpecker visiting the area in winter. Pictured with barn owl, roe deer and gulls coming into roost on the floodwater.

A mix of 160 Cape and African white-backed vultures to their new home at the Shamwari Private Game Reserve in Eastern Cape. Both rehabilitated vultures and purposely breed vultures.
The exclusive 54,300-acre reserve is patrolled by an anti-poaching team, and birds will be able to scavenge with little to no human exposure.
Vultures prevent harmful pathogens such as anthrax and brucellosis bacteria by destroying them in the vulture stomach.

Common Chaffinch Norfolk Woodlands..

Common Chaffinch Norfolk Woodlands.. by Adam Swaine Via Flickr: Male chaffinches are colourful birds with an orange-pink breast and cheeks, grey-blue cap and orange-brown back. Females are much duller brown with hints of green and yellow.The Chaffinch is one of the most widespread and common birds in Britain and Ireland. Its patterned feathers help it blend in when feeding on the ground, so it's easiest to see when it flies, as a flash of white on the wings and white outer tail feathers is revealed. It's shy when it comes to bird feeders, preferring to hop about under the bird table or under the hedge. You'll usually hear Chaffinches before you see them, thanks to their loud song and range of calls
