The word ‘Passerine’ means ‘sparrow like‘ an refers to the large group of birds that typically have four toes; three pointing forward and one backward, giving them the ability to perch.

In this taxidermy portfolio, you will see examples of some of our most familiar species and garden visitors, including Blackbird, Wren, Goldfinch, Robin, and some hedgerow specialities like Yellowhammer.

I adore working with more familiar, native species, as I have spent a lifetime studying them. Their ubiquity allows me to really understand their ecology, behaviour and characteristics, making it much easier to identify mistakes whilst working with them.
