I finally looked back my sketchbook from my Northumberland trip and scanned the images in!
電車とバスを乗り継いで、ファーン島へ渡る船が出るSeahousesへ。港のベンチに座っているとホシムクドリが食べ物をねだってやってくる。
Eiders at the harbour in Seahouses. ホンケワタガモがいっぱい。
そして翌日、風が強く、沖にあるStaple島は周りを回っただけだったが、Inner Farneへは上陸できた。ナショナル・トラストにより管理されており、Staple島は午前中のみ、Inner Farneは午後のみと、一般の人が上陸できる時間が制限されている。
We were welcomed by the arctic terns' attack, of course! Each nest had a numbered stone nearby for research purpose.
ニシツノメドリ。個人的には、太平洋側のツノメドリよりよっぽどかわいいと思う。目があまりツノメになっていず、丸く大きく見える。
Farne Islands are the place for puffins. So I did lots of their sketches. But because of its unique bill shape, it took me a long time to get the hang of how to draw them. And since we could only spend two and a half hours on the island, it was rather difficult.
Shags were nesting there, too. (ヨーロッパヒメウ)
I was sitting and drawing this shag on the nest and got lots of birds' dropping on me!
