Just to let you know the hooded crow has sold but I still have plenty of other taxidermy pieces and smaller pieces available for purchase. I also take PayPal pay in 3 if you want to spread the cost out. Hopefully see you there!

Here’s the reality of taxidermy. It’s not easy, it’s hard work and takes years and years of practice. By no means my 2025 mandarin duck is perfect. Nothings really perfect. But it goes to show that every step of the way, even if you can’t see it straight away, you get better at something if you keep practising. I learnt from so many other taxidermists since that time I did the mandarin duck in 2017. Joining the guild of taxidermists really helped too. Doing classes with @carlchurchbird, the late George Jamieson, and many other taxidermists. Of course the 2025 mandarin duck isn’t finished yet but I couldn’t help but think this is the second mandarin duck I’ve done since I last did one in 2017. And I like to compare where I was then to now and how far I’ve come in my practice over the last 11 years (started doing taxidermy in 2014). Time really does fly.

After someone requesting the voiceover I’ve done one of a barn owl I did recently. Do you like the voice overs? Let me know in the comments below. 🦉#taxidermy #barnowl

Here is a huge project I started early this year, it’s taken months to finish. This is a native bat roost I made from scratch including the base. The roost itself is weighted at the bottom and can be hung up on a wall or standing on its own. There’s 6 bats in total varying in flight and with little babies clinging onto their mothers. All bats have died of natural causes or illness that have been kindly donated to me by friends, members of the public and bat conservationists. This is an education piece that will go to Oxford Brookes University as part of educating people about bats and their natural habitat. It was a great challenge to do and I’m glad all these lovely bats have now all got a home to go to.

Full restoration and glow up of a very cute red squirrel for @chloe_elcock 🐿️ he was bleached from the sun, with a bit of cracking around his mouth and faded claws. So I got to work and restored his fur to his former glory, coloured his nails back to what they would have been when he was alive. And a bit of new groundwork on the tree branch itself to compliment his new look. Ready to go back home 😊

Male barn owl came to me from a customer and they wanted him preserved. He had a fractured and broken skull, two broken wings and was in pin feather. I did the best I could considering his condition. 🦉
