Ray Jackson MBE and Me in Lower Moss Wood

 

 

A crisp, icy December day provided a scenic and slippery drive down the country lanes to Lower Moss Wood, near Knutsford in Cheshire.  This Wildlife Hospital and Educational Nature Reserve founded and run by Ray Jackson MBE, provides a much needed centre for the care and rehabilitation of sick and injured wild creatures.  http://www.lowermosswood.org.uk 

The reason for my visit was to make a donation from the sale of one of my paintings, of a Brown Hare.

Red Fox Drawing
One of Ray's resident foxes, a tail-less vixen called Mara, became the model for one of my pencil and ink drawings for the forthcoming book; Mammals of Cheshire by the Cheshire Mammal Group.
