Barnacle Goose by Rowland Ward (1925). Once owned by Mr Andy Henry of Portsmouth, a true gentleman and of course sadly missed. Andy died at the end of 2003, taking with him much valuable Taxidermy knowledge of this subject with him. He should have written a book on the subject. He was universally respected and trusted.

Cornish Choughs by The famous Victorian Taxidermist Hutchinson of Derby. This firm were famous for their mixed cases of both British birds and Exotic birds imported following Darwin's successful expeditions around the globe. Choughs were extinct from Cornwall for a number of years, but it is understood that they are now back and numbers are increasing steadily.
Avocet and Little Ringed Plover by Derek Frampton. Fantastic case by one of the best of modern taxidermists. Regular winner of competitions held by The UK Guild of Taxidermists. AJ Armitstead states "he is probably the best in the UK currently who is still alive". Praise indeed when you consider the work executed by AJ Armitstead.
Great Bustards by unknown Victorian taxidermist. Originally part of the Captain Oates Collection. The case both has historical significance due to his part in the ill fated Antarctic Expedition and also these birds became extinct in the UK in the mid 1800's and are now part of a re-introduction program. It is pleasing to see that this case shall remain in the UK.
Male Merlin and Female Merlin by unkown Victorian Taxidermist. Both birds were shot on Allerton Moor in 1908, North Yorkshire.
Wonderfully restored case of North Atlantic Gannets, by unknown Victorian Taxidermist. These birds came from an auction house in Wales recently. The case has been cleaned, beaks and feet waxed, checked for insect infestation and generally tieded up. It should be regarded as a 100 years service. The results are as you can see.
Leach's Petrel by James Sheals of Dublin. Victorian case dated 1867. It is understood that James Sheals helped to compile the Ulster Museum.
Bull Finches and chicks by Henry Ward
European Bittern. One of the best Victorian cased examples that have survived.
Female Shelduck and Male Teal by Peter Spicer
Male and Female Snipe by Joseph Cullingford of County Durham.
Breeding colony of North Atlantic Gannets in a case which measures 20 feet by 15 feet. Magnificent case. There are about 20 taxidermy birds in this case with young, nests and eggs. This is a museum case as it would not really fit into the average UK collectors house. It is perhaps the best example of its kind of large scale single item themed taxidermy case in the UK. The state of preservation is excellent as is the attention to detail in the groundwork.
Victorian Merlins by Peter Spicer of Leamington Spa
Male and Female Goldfinches with four young in a wall hanging dome. We think this dome was created by Edwin Ward.
