Karearea wins Bird of the Year

Last week we received five new bird sculptures by Martin Carryer - one of these was the Karearea (pictured).  By coincidence, we learn that this beautiful bird has won the Forest and Bird title of "Bird of the Year".

At 470mm high by 470mm wide, carved in kauri and kahikatea, he is for sale for $2250.
