If you’re off to the Rutland Bird Fair, drop in to the Art Marquee and say hello to Jackie Garner, the wildlife artist from Stroud. She has very kindly produced several original works included in ‘The Birds of Gloucestershire’, and you can see some of them on her stand (no. 50).
She is also showcasing a sample of the impressive photos used in the book – bird, landscape, aerial and even satellite. Any guesses as to where the sample photo above is? Clue: it’s a good spot for migrants.
It’s Crickley Hill (part of the Cotswold Scarp near Birdlip) with Churchdown Hill in the background.
