      ‘The Eyrie’ - Tasmanian Wedge-tailed Eagle Nest (Aquila audax fleayi)

      Limited Edition print size: 100 cm x 80 cm. Printed on 310 gsm Museum quality art paper.

      Wedge-tailed eagle nesting habitat is generally restricted to predominantly closed canopy old growth native forest, almost exclusively in tracts of tall eucalypt forest. Trees selected for nesting are among the largest in the locality, typically greater than 27 metres (89 ft) in height, with few exceptions. Nest trees normally occur on leeward slopes sheltered from prevailing strong winds.

      The nest is a large structure of dead sticks, usually reused for years, often reaching considerable size. Nests 1.8 m across, 3 m deep and weighing about 400 kg are known. Nests have a shallow cup on the top, lined with fresh twigs and leaves. Sticks are added by a bird while it stands in the nest. If these sticks are dropped outside the nest, no effort is made to retrieve them. (With special thanks to Geoff ‘Hutcho’ Hutchinson for his fabulous reference images)

      'You're Late' - Peregrine family

      $450.00

      Limited Edition print size: 80 cm x 60 cm. Printed on 310 gsm Museum quality art paper.

      'You're Late ' - Peregrine family (Falco peregrinus)

      This female Peregrine was successfully rehabilitated at the Raptor Refuge of Tasmania, Kettering. A joy to watch and a very good news story.

      The Peregrine Falcon is the embodiment of apex hunter; fastest animal in the world and master of the famous Peregrine ‘stoop’.

      My portrait of Peregrine domesticity hopefully provides the viewer with a snapshot of another side to these magnificent raptors - that of protective maternal instinct and total commitment.

      While the female incubates the eggs and the chicks newly hatched the family unit is fed on the nest by the male, hence her expression …’You’re Late’

      Grey goshawk study

      $300.00

      Grey goshawk - white morph (Accipiter novaehollandiae)

      The grey morph has a pale grey head and back, dark wingtips, barred grey breast and tail, and white underparts. The white morph is the only bird of prey in the world to be entirely white.

      Grey Goshawks are about 40–55 cm long, with wingspans of 70–110 cm. Females are much larger than males, weighing about 680 g.  Males average 350 g.

      Goshawks usually prey on mammals such as rabbits, possums, and bats. They may also eat birds, small reptiles, and insects. Females, due to their size, can catch larger prey than males.

      Hunting is often done by stealth, and very successfully, but Grey Goshawks are willing to pursue their prey before catching it with their talons

      Southern Boobook owl study

      $300.00

      Southern Boobook owl (Ninox novaeseelandiae)

      The Southern Boobook is the smallest and most common owl in Australia. It is identified by its plumage, which is dark chocolate-brown above and rufous-brown below, heavily streaked and spotted with white. The facial disc is chocolate brown and the eyes are large and yellowish. Tasmanian birds are smaller and more heavily spotted with white. Young Southern Boobooks are almost entirely buff-white below, with conspicuous dark brown facial discs. Like other owl species, the Southern Boobook is nocturnal.

    • Peregrine falcon study

      Peregrine falcon study

      Peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus)

      All confirmed nests in Tasmania have been on cliffs. A site sheltered from heavy rain or high chill-factors is preferred and just a scrape is made to lay eggs.

      Tasmania is a great place for peregrines but far from the best. The nesting population recovered from ravages of organochlorine pesticides in the 1960s, 1970s and into the 1980s, through legal protection in the early 1970s to now. With approximately 120 breeding pairs, the population has been relatively stable for some years now. Most are clustered in river valleys and along suitable coastline and on inshore islands and where close (< 4km apart) pairs tend to be evenly distributed due to their territorial nature. Nests are fiercely defended against all kinds of perceived threats and predators.

      Size: 80 cm x 60 cm. Printed on 310 gsm Museum quality art paper.

      'Intent'

      SOLD

      One of my favourite raptors.  Usually around 40 cm to 50 cm long, they are found in light and dark forms and a variety of intermediates. They typically have red-brown heads with narrow black streaks with a light crown and off white chin. Wings are a spotted red-brown with dark brown quills. Beaks are light blue/grey, eyes are brown. The falcons make a loud cackle call uttered frequently. The brown falcon eats small mammals, including house mice and young rabbits. It also eats small birds, lizards, snakes and a variety of invertebrates particularly caterpillars, grasshoppers, crickets and beetles. Insects form the bulk of their diet during winter and the falcons often chase the insects on the ground!

      Tasmanian Masked Owls (Tyto novaehollandiae castonops)

      Tasmanian Masked Owls are not only large, but robust. They weigh up to 1.26 kilograms with a wingspan of up to 129 centimetres. Their plumage is mainly a variable combination of browns and greys, generally darker than the other Australian subspecies. Females are considerably darker, as well as larger, than the males. They have broad, black-bordered, buff to chestnut facial discs, and fully feathered legs with powerful feet and long talons. The owls hunt at night, preying on a wide range of animals, from insects to mammals as large as rabbits, bandicoots and brushtail possums.

      Feather II

      $POA

      Feathers are epidermal growths that form a distinctive outer covering, or plumage on avian species. They are considered the most complex integumentary structures found in vertebrates and a premier example of a complex evolutionary novelty. As well as controlling flight and regulating temperature, they often attract more than just other birds with their beauty.
