Although Mike is now based in Scotland he continues to work on publishing illustrations on favourite South African subjects. These include Bushmen and most African Wildlife. His interest in Raptors (Birds of Prey) relocates well to Scotland, which is home to many magnificent species of eagle and falcon. See his Scottish Wildlife pages for more Birds of Prey and other less predatory birdlife.
