Nature Diaries

I have been browsing around a few nature diary sites recently, just to see what other people have been doing. There is some great stuff out there, not all strictly nature sites some more concerned with sense of place. There are a few examples below with a screen shot and a link. As I develop this blog I intend to assemble a link collection for my own benefit if nothing else.

Wild West Yorkshire. Richard Bell's wonderful nature diary with entries for nearly every day since 1999. A mixture of quick black and white sketches and more detailed colour work. Also some photography. A very large site to explore with hundreds of pages.

Bird artist Catherine Hamiltons Home Page.In the form of a nature diary, all images and text hand drawn by herself.

Fujioka's Home page. The home page of a flyfishing enthusiast in Japan. Illustrations hand painted by Fujioka. These are particular favourites of mine. You can also download 3-d card models of fish to cut out and assemble yourself.
