'FORUM FRIENDS, WILDLIFE-FROM-WHEREVER' (Off-season, all cams off at Loch Garten)

Thanks, Scylla, young Andrew is definitely talented.

Wow. He is all of 17 yrs old.

Wow is right, CC.

I found him a couple of years ago, I think. I can't help but be in awe of his talents.

I've been watching the Glaslyn flood, whilst listening to the "singing" seals! I have yet to witness a birth though.

The call of the romancing albatross seems appropriate for Halloween!

Lovely recap of the 2020 albatross season, featuring OGK, YRK and the lovely alby chick Atawhai

I'm struck by the fact that my viewing of this nest began in January. Who knew how much human suffering lay ahead.

n Alan Petrie's Sightings thread the "simply Alan" posted a link to a super osprey nest painting by Ian Rendall and I noticed that one of that painter's followers was an admirable young wildlife artist, Andrew Edginton, whom I'd only recently discovered on Twitter, he does wildlife paintings among other things and I thought I'd spread him here.  Scroll down for a wonderful Cormorant.

Just seen these. Cracking stuff. Love the nest. And such a talented 17 year old.

'An eggs-cellent' afternoon. Albatross LGL lays her first egg on camera. Let the NZ Northern Royal albatross season begin!!

Just noticed some posts about Andrew Edginton , I met him and his father in the hide at Rutland MB several years ago and he is indeed very talented . When EJ did not return I got him to do a wonderful painting of her for me on slate , it is superbly done and stands proudly among my EJ possessions . Really lovely young man and he has featured on Springwatch/Autumnwatch as well .
