Shovellers and Common Gulls. Wollaton lake. So much birdlife on this lake that it can be bewildering to try and focus on something to draw. After a period watching it was interesting to see the interactions between different species. I liked the relative calm attitude of the gulls contrasted with the ducks swimming across to the rest of the flock busily dabbling and sifting food. Freezing, damp, grey day with no wind.
