‘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)

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.

'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’
