From the "Mysteries in the Life of this Bird" series. These are SERIOUS migratory birds. Red-necked Stint visits our shores every summer. This is one of the tiniest, weighing in at 25 gms, like a matchbox, RNS fly a round trip of 25,000 ks to their Arctic Circle nesting grounds. We have around 300 stints on our estuary.
On Saturday into my 8th year as leader of BirdLife Bunbury I coordinated our part in the national Shorebirds S2020 Survey on Bunbury-Leschenault waters. 8 teams, 25 people covering 23 sites. Good fun!
ADDRESSING ISSUES - As an artist I endeavour to address the issues, building relationships along the way. Over the years I went from being an artist who makes paintings, to an artist who makes things happen as my work engages people from many walks of life. Scientists, ornithologists, conservationists and viewers.
It just seems right and it just happens!
I painted this and several others for a Threatened Birds Exhibition in Melbourne - all were snapped up!
