Whinchat (Saxicola rubetra). This species breeds in Europe and western Asia, winters in central Africa. The last time I I saw one was on spring passage through southern England in 2021: it was with wheatears, I suspect they often migrate together. When I was a child, there was a period when my father did surveys of breeding birds for the British Trust for Ornithology (BTO), and I remember that one year he found more whinchat nests than anyone else in the country. Well, that's what he told me. (I often accompanied him: it was a lot of fun.) These days the whinchat is much less common in the UK: like many other migratory species, it has declined, partly as a result of the intensification of agriculture here, perhaps also because of pressures in its wintering grounds. Why these words? For that, you should consult my highly acclaimed recent article "Post-Modern Irony in the Vocalizations of the Whinchat, Saxicola rubetra", Journal of Avian Communication 6:110-113. Alkyd oils on canvas, with acrylic underpainting and additional use of graphite pencil and marker pen. Canvas edges white. Signed and dated middle right. Size 50 x 50 cm (19.7 x 19.7 inches), edge depth 1.8 cm (0.7 inches). Reference photo credit: gailhampshire, under Creative Commons license CC BY-SA 2.0

My art imagines what birds might say if they could speak our language. They would fear and hate us, surely: we are fast destroying their planet. They would tell us to stop before it's too late. But perhaps they'd frame that with love. I think they would frame it with love. Website: https://www.raphus.co.uk/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/raphus.artist/ Contact: raphus.art@gmail.com
