Been a while since I posted, here’s a few pictures of a commission featuring the humble pheasant looking rather energetic as they do in spring. 2024 has been a rough year work wise following a hand injury in spring and have been working hard recently to catch up from the delays caused and am relieved to be getting on top of the backlog. A massive thankyou to everyone for their custom and patience, if you’re still waiting for jobs they’ll be with you soon, Happy Christmas and New year to all

Lovely pair of Snipe (commission), these beautiful little waders usually just show a darting flash of white underwing so it’s always a real treat to set them up looking a little more chilled and fully appreciate the intricacy of their camouflage

Making Taxidermy a career was the best choice I’ve ever made and some days are super special, today was one of those, we returned the Harrris Hawk (previous post) which was the owners sons childhood bird. Following on we made a round trip to drop off this Pere x saker (commission) who was a 20 yr old bird that was dear to his owners heart, with the added privilege of holding and spending time with his stunning live birds to complete a magical day

Pleased to be doing a talk and some demonstrating at this years Guild conference about setting up mounts so they look as real as possible. There’s lots going on this year and there’s no better weekend in the uk to get so much information, demonstrations and teaching for the cost. Whether you’re a practicing taxidermist or are interested to know more about taxidermy it’s a must go to event. Book early and I hope to see you there
