      Southern Fairy Prion (Pachyptila turtur subantarctica)

      Watercolour and gouache on 640 gsm hot press Lana rag paper - H50 cms x W 75 cms. Framed in ArtGlass AR

      The Fairy Prion has two subspecies: Pachyptila turtur and Pachyptila turtur subantarctica. The latter is found in Antipodes, Snares and Macquarie islands and is currently listed as threatened. The Fairy Prion is a seabird usually found in offshore waters except during stormy weather conditions. It frequents the open sea near the colonies, and rarely occurs in sheltered coastal waters. During the breeding season, it breeds on oceanic islands. The colonies are established in coastal areas such as cliffs, boulders and steep slopes, but also in grasslands with sparse vegetation, and even beneath trees.

      'The Collection' - Memories of other times

      King Island, Tasmania. Shipwrecked debris from the shipwrecks Brahmin 1854, British Admiral 1874, Blencathra 1875

      Watercolour and gouache on Ampersand Claybord. - H40 cms x W 40 cms. Framed

      Situated in the centre of the western entrance to Bass Strait and known for its treacherous coastline and prevailing south-westerly winds, King Island has been the location of over 60 known shipwrecks, involving the loss of over 2,000 lives. As a result, its not uncommon to come across pieces of history washed up along the beaches after a large storm - clay pipes, ink wells, soles of an old shoe, hand-painted crockery and bottles are just some of the treasures that have been discovered over the years.
