Morning wanders in the rain. After a long, hot, dry November, we have finally had some much needed rain and it is just beautiful. #naturewalk #rainy #raindrops #wet

Seabird plumage is so often black and white with subtle touches of colour. I decided to create linocuts for the stickers and poster/tote bag design I did for @birdlife_sa of Cape Gannets for Bird of the Year 2022. The graphic nature of the technique really seemed to suit these striking birds. These are available for download on the @birdlife_sa website. #linocutart #stickerdesign #birdart #printmakingart #birdprint #lino #linocut

The Great Guano Rush is the subject of the latest

The Great Guano Rush is the subject of the latest infographic I have done for BirdLife SA’s Bird of the year. This devastating practice of guano harvesting reached its height in the 1840s. ‘White Gold’ was scraped off the guano islands at astonishing speed and in enormous quantities, destroying seabird breeding habitat and upsetting the birds’breeding cycles. Fortunately this practice is no longer permitted thanks to the protection of these important seabird islands off the coast of Southern Africa. These are available for free download from the @birdlife_sa website. . #seabirds #gannet #islands #birdconservation #birdisland #environmentinfographic #infographic

This is the last day to vote for the Mouse Free Ma

This is the last day to vote for the Mouse Free Marion project to win vital funding for saving the seabirds that breed on this remote and important South African island. Please cast your vote, it is quick and easy and every vote counts! https://www.eocaconservation.org/project-voting-category.cfm?catid=3&fbclid=IwAR11KPs-DQBimidy54RrSBKku7CNfqErO5OtRoxVugFKTKnt1VYTFh1_FAc #seabirds #islandlife #mousefreemarion #albatross #petrels #antarcticwildlife #subantarctic

I feel very honoured to have been asked to create

I feel very honoured to have been asked to create an artwork for a renowned Antarctic scientist, Phil Trathan, who is retiring from the British Antarctic Survey after a career of over 30 years. This retirement gift, commissioned by his colleagues, is a compilation of many of the species of wildlife that he has studied and the environment in which he focussed his research. I hope it brings back many happy memories of an extensive and exciting career in Antarctic science and conservation. #antarctica #antarctic #antarcticanimals #animalillustrations #penguins #whales #albatross #britishantarcticsurvey

Wandered around the garden gathering a basket of flowers for our guest cottage on the farm. Spring is such a bountiful and rewarding time in the garden, a real treat for the senses. #garden #springday #springflowers #gardenflowers #handpickedflowers
