The Final Piece

This is the final piece that I did for Roy Dennis that i have only just got around to posting. Although it is poorly scanned and spliced, I hope you get a sense of what It looks like in its entirety.

Syke's Warbler

Given the recent occurrences of this species in Shetland and Northumberland I thought it was rather appropriate to upload this sketch of a bird caught in August 1959 on Fair Isle by Roy Dennis. This bird was the 1st British record and was one of the birds I included In Roy Dennis's Retirement Piece.
