This metallic glass print captures a lone male Rainbow Bee-Eater poised along a pale branch at Simpsons Gap, his emerald back, golden crown and electric blue tail shining against the soft, desert backdrop. It feels like a fleeting, intimate moment with a desert jewel resting between flights.
Photographed near Alice Springs in the Northern Territory, this metallic glass print celebrates one of Australia’s most striking insect hunters. Rainbow Bee-Eaters catch bees mid-air, remove the stings by striking them on branches, and are known for nesting in tunnels they dig into sandy banks, a surprising behaviour for such a delicate, aerial acrobat.
What I love most about this metallic glass print is the sense of stillness in the middle of the action, as if he has paused just for you. His vivid colours and fine feather detail glow against the muted tangle of branches, creating a luminous focal point that draws your eye and brings a touch of wild elegance into any room.
