Bar-tailed godwit - Noosa by jeneurell

Bar-tailed godwit - Noosa

I finally finished my print for the Overwintering Project. It wasn't without problems - mucking up the first aluminium plate and needed to totally redo it; wasting a few bits of expensive printmaking paper before it convinced me that it really wasn't good enough. Eventually the new plate printed without too many issues - then I cut my finger with the Stanley knife wrapping it for posting! Fortunately, even in these chaotic times, it arrived in Melbourne for exhibitions in Tasmania and WA later on.
Nice etching Jennifer. Where in Noosa have you seen Godwits? No gain no pain they say!! Dont suppose there will be too many exhibitions for a while. Time will tell.

@hrs The godwits were on the sandbanks in the estuary - they are only there for the summer season and I saw them in December. It was a windy day so the kite surfers were also in the estuary. I thought it an odd combination. I think that Kate Gorringe-Smith is hoping all has settled down and the next exhibition will be at Burnie in Tasmania. The current one is at Huskinson, NSW south coast but I don't know if it has been taken down or not.

I like your take in showing habitat of this bird. I hope you have opportunities to show your work when the various lockdowns are over
