A pair of Teal, mounted on a piece of driftwood with the male standing over the resting female.

This piece feature on the Great Irish Game fair as a display item to show people that taxidermy doesn't always have to be ugly, stiff or creepy. During this fair I also held demonstrations. On Saturday I worked on a red-leg partridge, and on Sunday I worked on a wee female Kestrel.

~To whom it may concern, (please read before accusing me of anything!)
The animal used in this project were legal quarry. None of the animals I work on are killed for the purpose of taxidermy alone and most are found along side the road or come from bird/animal breeders in the area.

I love the pose on the female. She almost looks shy. :) Nice work, as always.

This is my line, this is eternal
How did I end up here?
Discarnate, preternatural
My prayers to disappear
Absent of grace, marked as infernal
Ungranted in dead time left me disowned
To this nature, so unnatural
I remain alone

There is actually a difference between the Teal in the US and the Teal over here in Europe :)

Very nice, i love the pose of the female. i am in the proses of mounting three Grey teal on a log each one is doing some thing different and one of the is going to be mounted like your female - sleeping.

Though nothing can bring back the hour of slender in the grass, of glory in the flower. We will grieve not, rather find strength in what remains behind.
