Bittern in the Reeds 
Original Linocut
 
The bittern is a secretive, fenland bird, almost invisible among reeds and leaf litter. Its streaky plumage provides perfect camouflage, and its extraordinary boom call—used to attract a mate—is a sound that once heard is never forgotten.
 
This linocut grew from that sense of mystery and quiet presence. It honours a bird that is rarely seen but deeply memorable to anyone who has spent time near reedbeds.
 
Hand carved and hand printed using environmentally friendly, water‑based ink on heavyweight Fabriano paper, each impression is slightly unique. Variations in pressure and ink give every print its own character, which is one of the virtues of original printmaking.
