Late December window view.

Waxwings and Long-tailed Ducks sketched in Jastarnia seaport, perhaps first signs of dearly awaited winter.

And yet another grebe...Red-necked Grebe foraging in the open sea waters at Hel beach (watercolour).

Yesterday's sketch of Slavonian Grebe from the very tip of Hel Peninsula, one of a few present on the spot. Fountain pen sketch with watercolour.

Yesterday studies of Peregrine perched on breakwater of the navy seaport and Eider drake at the very tip of Hel Peninsula.

 

Red-throated Diver, charcoal.

Male Redstart, Hel.

Recent doodle from different regions of the Gulf of Gdansk: Tricity, Hel and Vistula mouth. Watecolour, inktense pencils, fountain pen and brush pen.

 

Juvenile Caspian Gull from Hel fishing port. For a large gull species they are, they are extremely slender.

Fairly recent sketches of young Eider drakes, Curlew Sanpiper, Dunlins, Red-backed Shrike, Herring Gull and Goosanders.

 

 

Yesterday sketch of one of  a few Curlew Sandpipers foraging among two hundred Dunlins near shipwrecks in Hel (inktense pencils and watercolour). It seems it might be a good year for waders.

Information board with different fisheating seabirds one can encounter in the Baltic region-designed for the Day of the Fish that wil be held on 25th July in Hel.

Picture (watercolur and ink) of a female Citrine Wagtail seen some time ago among Yellow Wagtails foraging along harbour in Hel.

Some recent quick studies of Kingfisher and moulting Slavonian Grebe.

Few of the recent sketches mostly from the coast (Hel) and other parts of Pomeranian region.

 

 

The other day at the beginning of January I made this sketch of Red-throated Diver. Regular but scarce migrant and winter visitor.

This is a memory sketch of Yellow-billed Loon seen in extremely stormy wheather flying by Hel Peninsula towards the east. Unfortunately harsh conditions did not allow any field sketching. Single birds sighted almost annually in Poland.
