A fine art print of an original collage titled 'Merlin and Magpie'.
 
This piece centres on a merlin holding its ground while a magpie sweeps in, all set against a dense mix of branches, pine and late‑season colour. The collage is built from hand‑painted papers, layered to keep the focus on texture and behaviour rather than embellishment. The merlin stays steady on its perch, sharp‑eyed and compact, while the magpie comes in with that familiar territorial confidence. It’s a small, everyday clash you could easily miss in the wild, held still long enough here to take in the detail.
