James McCallum @jamesrmccallum1.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Extended Cley Exhibition date should read 13th Sept - apologies! 093
James McCallum @jamesrmccallum1.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Extended dates for my Cley Centenary Exhibition. Nice to see the show so well attended, so much so that NWT have extended the finish date to the 12th September 0214
James McCallum @jamesrmccallum1.bsky.social · 08/09/2026 You were only saying a couple of weeks back that you’d like to revisit that scenario with a different approach - great stuff! 001
James McCallum @jamesrmccallum1.bsky.social · 23/08/2026Great, hope to see you there. I'll be around most days for a couple of hours in the mornings 010

James McCallum @jamesrmccallum1.bsky.social · 17/08/2026Thanks John - a lot of interesting things going on in that image. (Rather a lot of rings on the closest bird) 220
James McCallum @jamesrmccallum1.bsky.social · 11/08/2026Redshank developing chicks - Cley, Norfolk July-Aug 2026 0211
James McCallum @jamesrmccallum1.bsky.social · 10/08/2026Redshank family - field painting completed at Cley, Norfolk earlier this summer 1629
James McCallum @jamesrmccallum1.bsky.social · 01/08/2026Hello John, first time I’ve seen them at this age. The colouration is not what you’d expect for rail chicks 010
James McCallum @jamesrmccallum1.bsky.social · 24/07/2026Sandwich Terns, Redshanks, Curlew and Ringed Plovers - hot with heat haze. Watercolour sketch from this morning 0262
James McCallum @jamesrmccallum1.bsky.social · 21/07/2026Little Ringed Plover brooding four day old chicks. Sketched at Cley NWT 0283
James McCallum @jamesrmccallum1.bsky.social · 21/07/2026Two families in a quiet pool - Gadwall with ducklings and Water Rail with its brood, Cley, Norfolk 1425
James McCallum @jamesrmccallum1.bsky.social · 20/07/2026Water Rail with chicks sketched Cley. Spent an enjoyable summer watching birds raising young and this was one of the highlights 1588
James McCallum @jamesrmccallum1.bsky.social · 13/02/2026Svalbard Pink-footed Goose with GPS neck collar. Icelandic breeding birds winter in the UK and Svalbard birds winter in the Low Countries. The arrival of a known Svalbard bird in Norfolk goes hand in hand with the current influx of Whitefronts, Barnacles and Tundra Beans 212610
James McCallum @jamesrmccallum1.bsky.social · 12/02/2026Pinkfeet sleeping, loafing and preening in the early morning after being out all night feeding in the moonlight 0502
James McCallum @jamesrmccallum1.bsky.social · 12/02/2026Some context - in flock and with Russian Whitefronts 060
James McCallum @jamesrmccallum1.bsky.social · 11/02/2026It certainly seems the most likely option but I’m always cautious with potential hybrids as there’s always an element of supposition when the parentage isn’t known. (I’m also mindful of aberrant Pinkfeet that aren’t hybrids but conform to a type and wonder if similar scenarios occur in Tundra Bean) 020
James McCallum @jamesrmccallum1.bsky.social · 11/02/2026An interesting goose paired to a Tundra Bean. The all pale peachy-pink bill, white halter and small dark spots on the upper belly perhaps point to it being a Tundra Bean X Russian Whitefront hybrid rather than an aberrant Tundra Bean. With Ash McElwee and Graham Fellows 2628
James McCallum @jamesrmccallum1.bsky.social · 11/02/2026That was a good find. Lovely images in there and a really good read 100
James McCallum @jamesrmccallum1.bsky.social · 11/02/2026Some excellent goose watching in North Norfolk over the last week. A notable influx of White-fronted, Barnacle and Tundra Bean Geese joining the Pinkfeet flocks. The Netherlands is most likely the origin of these birds. Certainly livened up the grey weather. 431327
James McCallum @jamesrmccallum1.bsky.social · 29/12/2025Eastern Black Redstart, field sketches, Sheringham. This handsome young male from Central Asia has brought some colour to the winter seafront and proved to be a popular attraction. 1524

James McCallum @jamesrmccallum1.bsky.social · 14/11/2025Pink-footed Geese arriving in the rain, Sheringham - seemed an apt image for this morning's weather. Rain drops peppering the watercolour washes. Not the greatest weather forecast for an exhibition preview evening but such is life! 324531

James McCallum @jamesrmccallum1.bsky.social · 11/11/2025Thanks, takes a bit of time to work out all the angles 010

James McCallum @jamesrmccallum1.bsky.social · 11/11/2025Thank you - yes they are the marks left by ice crystals. Same as you get on your windscreen. Sometimes they blur away when the watercolour thaws but sometimes, if you're lucky, they remain 120
James McCallum @jamesrmccallum1.bsky.social · 11/11/2025Thank you, it's a wonderful sight fo sure 110
