I ought to be shot for leaving this in a flight case under a bed for 20+ years. Nerve damage stopped me playing. Gonna get it refurbed and enjoy playing what I can rather than worry what I can't play anymore

Clearing out bird books, I found this. I think i bought it in vancouver a long time ago. I bought it for the inscription reference to David Hunt of Scilly same. I can't read the signatures (Ramirez?)

In the days when I sketched birds, and there were decent birds to sketch on patch. Used to go hunting Dotterels annually in Airedale. Often successfully. These on Bingley Moor. Females, males and 'who knows'.
