We went to beautiful #ComptonVerney, #Warwickshire, today to see an #exhibition of #engravings by #JohnJamesAudubon, from his book: "The #BirdsOfAmerica".

I'd only seen two original Audubons before but today I saw 46!

Pic 1: a detail of the heads of the osprey and a fish it's just caught

Pic 2: a detail of an astonishing composition of Northern mockingbirds repelling a rattlesnake from their nest. 👈 This one was worth the price of admission alone.

Recommended!
