Flipping and turning through the air, a tiny pīwakawaka fantail chases an even tinier meal. Pīwakawaka rarely fly in a straight line. Instead, they use their fanned tail to twist and turn with incredible aerodynamic skills.

This piece is called "An Eye on the Prize," and you just know this fantail will not go hungry. I photographed this fantail at Zealandia late on a sunny winter afternoon. The midges were out in full force, emboldened by the unexpected warmth, and the pīwakawaka were loving it, excitedly swooping through the clouds of insects with great joy and much cheeping.

This piece comes as a limited-edition fine-art print in multiple sizes on archival heavyweight fine-art paper. Each print is hand-signed and editioned, and medium prints and above come with signed certificates of authenticity.

  • Small 20x20cm, edition of 60 on fine-art paper
  • Medium 30x30cm, edition of 30 on fine-art paper
  • Large 40x40cm, edition of 20 on fine-art paper
  • X-Large 60x60cm, edition of 10 on fine-art paper

Includes a 10% donation to Zealandia to support their conservation efforts.

This fantail picture pairs beautifully with "Afternoon Tea (pīwakawaka)"
