It's nonstop birds and hawthorns in bloom, out here in the middle of nowhere, clear of the industrial outskirts of Stoke-on-Trent.
Spring on the Caldon canal seems to be a few weeks behind the rest of the midlands, judging by what's blooming and the size of moorhen chicks and goose goslings.
My wife and I went to the botanical gardens and I took the opportunity to draw some dusky moorhens. Still got stickers on the brain. It's not quite there yet but I'm getting my head around it. #art#MastoArt#bird#birds#moorhen#DuskyMoorhen
