I find birds of prey one of the most challenging taxidermy subjects to work with, but the most enjoyable.

Their anatomy is slightly different to that of garden birds and requires more dedication to achieving accuracy on their facial features. My favourite part of working with birds of prey, is giving them that characteristic ‘scowl’ that would strike fear in to the heart of any rodent.

For the purpose of legalities – all birds pictured here are not for sale an are displayed as examples of my taxidermy work.
