The Bird Art of Peter Lagrue

Gannet

The amazing sea bird with long wings which dives into the water to catch fish.

Ringed Plover

A small wader that nests simply on shingle on the shore

Wren

A tiny bird with a great big song.

House Sparrow

This little bird is known for its chirruping calls in gangs in gardens and parks.

Kingfisher

What an extraordinary bird - often only seen as a blue flash as it skims over water.

Robin

I have drawn 4 robins - they are one of the best loved birds.

Robin

Another robin looking a bit fluffed up in winter.

Tree Sparrow

Not too different from the house sparrow but this lovely little bird is a joy to see in the countryside.

Ringed Plover on nest

Another ringed plover this time on its nest among shingle and shells.

Sandwich Tern

An amazing tern - this one is facing into the wind waiting for the weather to pass!

Grey Wagtail

The grey wagtail is a bird of riverside and water's edge.

Sedge Warbler

This little bird, which also has a big song, is a summer visitor where it is found in reed beds and the like.

Herring Gull

A big gull common at the seaside where it often nests on the roofs of houses.

Avocet and Chick

The Avocet is such an elegant and beautiful bird.

I drew this for an upcoming exhibition in Canterbury at HappyandGlorious on Burgate.

Nuthatch

A charming bird of the woodland where it will be seen flying to the top of a tree then circling down a trunk looking for food in the bark.

Sparrow Hawk

One of my first drawings - I just had to draw those eyes!

Red Shank

A common wading bird of marshland and water's edge.

Grey Heron

One of the largest bird in the UK - a magnificent tall bird mostly found near water.

Great Crested Grebe

My first drawing of this bird - a wonderful sight on lakes.

Great Crested Grebe and Chick

The Great crested Grebe is another beautiful wader.
The parents are often seen carrying their young on their backs in the Spring.
This is another work that I have completed for the Canterbury Exhibition.

Lapwing and Chick

The Lapwing is another lovely wading bird, sometimes called a Peewit (after its call).

This is the third drawing I have completed for the Canterbury Exhibition.

Pheasants

My first drawing of two birds together. These are birds most often seen in the autumn.

Grey Partridge

One of the best looking birds in the UK - a beautiful bird of open fields

Red Grouse

Another amazing bird - this one is found on the high moors in the UK.

Burrowing Owl

A bird of North America which I drew for my brother-in-law.

Avocet

The elegant Avocet - the symbol of the RSPB.

Crane

My family name is French for 'The Crane' - I drew this one for my brother's birthday.

Puffin

Another bird I drew for family - this one for my great niece.

White Tailed Eagle

Possibly the best bird in Britain! This huge and stupendous eagle has recently been re-introduced to the Isle of Wight, so you may see them passing by almost anywhere in the UK these days as they wander.
