Nature Journaling course


Last weekend I attended a nature journaling course, run by Sandra Morris, at the Miranda Shorebird Centre. It was the first time I had done nature journaling and it was a lot of fun. Over the two days we spent the mornings down at the shell banks observing the local wildlife and sketching them while looking through telescopes. Some of the many birds we spotted were spoonbills, wrybills, caspian terns, mallards and pied stilts. 

In the afternoons we went for walks looking for plant specimens to take back to the centre to draw.

The photos here show the stunning scenery, plants specimens, sketches, using the telescopes and photos I took of the birds through my telescope.
