| Buff-bellied pipit - sometimes alternatively known as American pipit |
ENCHANTING watercolours by acclaimed bird artist Robert Gillmor (1936-2022) are set to go under the hammer next month.
Five studies (lots 659 to 664) are included in a sale being conducted by Cirencester-based Dominic Winter Auctions on March 7.
The species, mostly seldom seen in the field, are:
* Buff-bellied pipit
* Great reed warbler
* Hawfinch
* Red-necked phalarope
* Pallas' leaf warbler
* Goshawk
They are each expected to fetch between £200 and £300.

| Great reed warbler - not uncommon in Spain and other parts of Europe but a rare visitor to Britain |
 |
| Hawfinch - shy and uncommon bird of woodlands |
 |
| Red-necked phalarope - a few pairs breed in Scotland |
 |
| Pallas' leaf warbler - a few turn up annually in autumn |
 |
| Goshawk - holding its own but of localised range in Britain |
