- We have skeins flying overhead at the moment, think they’re geese, but sometimes you see the swans too. I need to interpret the different cries, shape of skein and height. There is a big lake up the Hirsel here which is rich in waterbirds, especially in the winter.

- Looking forward to going back out soon to capture more swans, and maybe the occasional heron. Keep up the good work, John.

About

I’m Cara, and I live in Coldstream, in the Scottish Borders As well as writing and illustrating books for children I have recently been painting on canvas, in my octagonal studio (aka The Tardis) which inhabits a corner of the vegetable garden. My work for children has been published in several countries, and translated into different languages. My favourite form at the moment is the picture book, but I have also had published poetry, children’s novels, and illustrations for the work of other authors, and have worked extensively on projects with children. I go out most days with my camera and create blog entries from the results. Some of the pictures I take will be used as background material for the picture book which I am working on at the moment. My son Matty set up this WordPress blog for me, and it has added a dimension to my life which surprises me. It is also interesting and inspiring to read the blogs of other people from different parts of the world, and to look at their sometimes fascinating pictures.
