I wish people wouldn't say that they can't draw. Like anything else, it's 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration. Yes, it's easy to take photographs but it's not easy to take really good ones. The evidence is here for you to see in the website galleries.

OK Steve. I promise I'll have a go sometime and I'm well aware of how difficult taking good photographs of birds is. It's only when you start you realise how much time and effort people must have put in to get some shots.
Another great addition to this wonderful website - good work as usual, Ian!

Excellent images chaps. I really like Ian's Pectoral Sandpiper and Lapwings and David's Nightingale. Inspires me to get out more with my camera (I can't draw to save my life).
I seem to see there's 2 more on now (after spending all afternoon putting them on)
I need to get back into the drawing really as I've never given it or myself the full opportunity to show what I can produce, but with full time birding, this website, rugby, work, family (in no specific order honest) and other stuff I really don't think I can find the time anymore!
