As a nature artist, Niels Meyer-Westfeld has drawn horns, hooves, skin, scales, and fur, but nothing is as versatile as feathers.
His new book explores the feathers of Aotearoa's native birds, from the long wing feathers of an albatross that enable it to soar endlessly over the oceans, to the tiny, insulating feathers of a penguin.
Feathers of Aotearoa: an illustrated journal combines artwork with fascinating insights and information which highlight just how remarkable feathers are.
