  • Double-Banded Sandgrouse, Maurice Randall

    Circles within Circles

    £83.00

    As this male Double-Banded Sandgrouse looked up at me, it felt like it was trying on some hypnosis trick. It’s eyes circles, it feathers circles and its body circular.

    Sitting watching this pair I could but help thinking about how their monogamous family relationship was like, doing everything together, wherever they were in the National Park.

    Thanks for supporting the National Parks Guy website, and allowing me to show you the amazing wildlife and landscapes in our world.

  • Eggshell in Vogue, Maurice Randall

    Eggshell in Vogue

    £83.00

    If there one bird that looked like an eggshell, this would be it. The Female Double-Banded Sandgrouse. Mating for life, her and her spouse look for small seeds throughout the day, often with some family in tow, and at night, they head to the water. Always by each others side.

    But this is one bird to show off the seasons best dress I think. Perfectly camouflaged against the rough terrain and almost invisible in the long grass.

    Thanks you for supporting the National Parks Guy, and allowing me to share the beauty of the wildlife I experience with you.

  • How's This?, Maurice Randall

    How’s This?

    £83.00

    The Kudu has long legs and huge ears that, just like a trumpet in reverse, allows this antelope to pick up the smallest of sounds.

    Very shy, they often hide in the bush, almost undetected as they blend in with the surroundings so well. The male has huge antlers which look very impressive and a little white beard.

    Thank you for supporting the National Parks Guy, and allowing me to bring some of my world into yours.

  • Hammerkop, Maurice Randall

    I Love You Darling

    £122.00

    I think this is the ultimate caress. One Hammerkop affectionately caring for a his partner. How amazingly expressive and wonderful to see.

    The Hammerkop is normally found near water, fishing, but this fine morning a gentle wake up and a cuddle were called for.

    Thanks so much for looking as supporting the National Parks Guy, as I travel to bring our wild precious spaces to our rushed and busy lives.

  • I See You - Maurice Randall

    I See You

    £83.00

    The African Fish Eagle is such an iconic sight for Africa. Sitting in the tree, surveying all that goes before it. A huge raptor weighing over 2kg, with specially adapted toes for gripping slippery objects – fish!

    When I spotted this one, it was over looking a dam, early in the morning and it still had it’s ‘bed head’ on.

    Thanks for supporting the National Parks Guy, and allowing me to show you how wonderful our wildlife is.

  • Dark Chanting Goshawk, Maurice Randall

    Rude Awkening

    £122.00

    This Goshawk has really turned out for the party. Lovely orange stockings and matching mask!

    The Dark Chanting Goshawk as the name suggests makes a few sounds, mainly around breeding time.

    Thanks for having a look at another print from the National Parks Guy. Your support is greatly appreciated as I visit National Parks around the world to bring the wild places to your walls.
