Field corner and rook.

 I was looking back in my 2012 sketchbook and found this corner of the enormous field made in January. It has turned very frosty here- cold but bright - those colours just right for now. It got me thinking..........

 but yesterday I was working from this photo of a rook taken at Slimbridge on Sunday, from the Holden hide, who was so interested in this patch of stones and gravel.

 in my sketchbook,

on calico.I managed to catch a programme on Radio 4 about deep listening. Jan 29th 11.00. Note to self- remember that. Be quiet, empty thoughts, just listen.
