Karearea. New Zealand Falcon. Old colour pencil drawing done years ago. Scanned it into procreate and digitally finished it off. 😁 #falcon #raptors #Birds

Took the cell phone for a walk up the hills behind home last nite. (Makara, Wellington) Comet C/2024 G3 Atlas made a brief appearance. #comet #astronomy #astrophotography
A Tui at dusk (endemic to New Zealand) feeding on nectar from a flax plant. The orange on its forehead is pollen from the flax.

Wow. That was a lucky capture - and a happy ending for the starling!!
Cool. Great birds. I have 6 or 7 nesting boxes around my house. Always something interesting going on😁
It’s a non-breeding starling. Beautiful. Stage. Juveniles are a smooth grey brown.
White-fronted Heron. Found a colour pencil drawing that I abandoned 10 or so years ago - got bogged down in the detail. So scanned it into procreate and “finished” it off, at last.😁 #heron #Birds

Paralomis zealandica, a species of king crab. This one was caught and photographed from the Chatham Rise, New Zealand from approximately 600metres. #marinelife #crabs #crustateans #crustmas #SciArt #newzealand
Starlings nesting in a fishing buoy hanging from my shed have fledged and are out and about the garden. Parents still on feeding duty. #starlings #fledgling #birds
