Today, I had a trip to Wivenhoe, not a birding trip but a visit to the "Old Grocery", a small gallery, to view "Wings and Water", a temporary exhibition from Richard Allen.
Richard is an artist and illustrator based in Wivenhoe where the Colne estuary near his home provides plenty of inspiration, especially in winter when large flocks of waders and wildfowl flock to the Essex coast.
Richard has been a freelance illustrator for over 30 years and he has worked in publishing, newspapers, stamp design and on interpretation illustrations for many conservation bodies, including the RSPB and National Trust.
I had a thoroughly enjoyable time speaking to Richard and viewing his work.
