I very recently made several photographs on a field trip to my local Nature Reserve. 

The composition shown immediately below, here.. :

Buzzards Wood Photograph

.. was my favourite of these for the pencils sketch work you see in the first image above.

Another photograph from this particular field trip is suitable for an exquisite watercolour in my opinion.

This wood has been affectionately named by me in the sketch due to buzzards regularly soaring over these trees and surrounding fields. 

Furthermore, I once saw a buzzard land on a Buzzards Wood tree towards the roadside.

The trees were planted as a sound break, along with an embankment to shield noise from the adjacent dual carriageway.

‘Buzzards Wood’ is directly opposite ”Wren’s Nest Wood’ with a path and grass field in between. 

Buzzards Wood has an elliptical 0 shape with a + path inside the 0 and an 0 path way all around its wood.

One end of the 0 path way is rounded, whilst the other end is pointed.  The latter leads onto a larger public field, with an oak tree in Field Three to the left. 

A c1612 dated Oak Tree sits proudly on the other side of the Nature Reserve in between Field One and Field Two. 

Whereas Buzzards Wood and Wren’s Nest Wood, including Ridge Willow, are all located in Field Three from where this and four of my earlier sketches are derived:

“Ridge Willow”, “Wren’s Nest Pond One & Two” and “Wren’s Nest Wood”.

The c1612 Oak Tree can be physically seen from the lower-outer path way of Field Three.

My sketch entitled “Buzzards Wood” [24th March 2021] includes specific personal techniques.

I shall call these Lightning Lines and Autography Details.

Please note these Nature Reserve sketches are representative of conservation interests with the counter idea of a barren fauna portrayed.

The Nature Reserve images depict the considerable efforts of ingenuity with conservation.

This latter sketch was created on 25th March 2021 after “Buzzards Wood”.
