You’re able to catch the essence of everything with such a light touch, Alan. What about a book on this ‘nature’ theme? I just saw a Buzzard being mobbed by Jackdaws. The aerobatics were amazing and you can just imagine the conversation!

The one nearest the beak is my favourite. The expressions almost come out of my pen unbidden. It’s my habit of people watching I think.

I fear some of the looks on the frog faces suggest the reason for their assembly is slowing dawning on them. I feel bad for the frogs but it’s a great scene. Really nicely done heron and colony of frogs.
