      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

      SOLD

      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.

      This original piece is SOLD.

      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.

      Humpback whale and calf (Megaptera novaeangliae)

      Humpback whales are a baleen whale and are renowned for their spectacular 'breaching' behaviour. Most humpback whales make exceptionally long journeys every year between their feeding and breeding sites. Females typically breed every two or three years. The gestation period is 11.5 months. The peak months for birth are January, February (Northern Hemisphere), July and August (Southern Hemisphere). Females wait for one to two years before breeding again. Humpbacks can travel up to 8 km/h but during their long migration journey they average only 1.6km/h, resting and socialising along the way.

      This original piece is FOR SALE and currently on display at Pennicott Bruny Island Tours, Bruny Island.  To view other limited edition prints click here.
