A bit disconcerting when one of the world's largest moth species is attracted to your headlamp! Found this beautiful Hercules Moth in far north Queensland.

A friend of mine described a bird she had seen on a recent camping trip & it sounded like a female Satin Bowerbird to me, a 'greenish bird with brown markings like tiles on its chest' 😄 #birdart #artprints #birdlife #bowerbird #australia

So happy this painting found a new home at the Birdlife exhibition! I have two originals left in my parrot series and I've just made them both half-price 🤩 rachelhollis.com/original-art... #painting #artwork #birdart #australianart #wildoz #birdlifeaustralia

Apostlebirds are found across eastern Australia and are often found in groups of 12. Their big personalities make up for their lack of colour 🤎 rachelhollis.com/product/apos... #birds #australia #apostlebird #birdart #prints

I love seeing Olive-backed Sunbirds and their hanging nests, this drawing was done from a photograph my husband took on a trip to Queensland, such a beautiful garden bird 🤩 rachelhollis.com/product/oliv... #birdart #wallart #naturenart #artprints
