Old flower still life with pineapple and old Honiton jug that I bought in the 1960s in a Southsea bric-a-brac shop. I hope I haven't posted this one recently but never mind, it can have a rerun.

This shot gives you a pretty good idea of how much larger the female Bald Eagle is. The female is Hannah and the male is Mr. Majestic! #LakeCasitas #Birds #Raptors #Nature #Photography

My colleague Nick has been using Waikato University's electrofishing boat to remove huge numbers of non-native koi carp, goldfish, catfish and turtles from Auckland's Western Springs. For the turtles and goldfish, your unwanted pets can become monumental pests!

Now and then when I have time I love to draw anything that takes my fancy. I did this years back off an old National Geographic article. I just loved the baby mountain gorilla he was beautiful #writerslife #art #NewZealand #nature #drawing

The Giant Penguin fossil at Waikato Museum - Kairuku waewaeroa - (= food-diver long-legs). It lived in the Oligocene, at a time when Zealandia was almost fully submerged, with small islands and shallow seas prefect for coastal marine life evolution.
