Maori admired the diminutive Kotare (Sacred Kingfisher) for its alert sentry, quickly diving from a lofty perch to attack prey in a sudden blur.  These watchful guardians of the forest have brilliant electric blue, green and creamy yellow feathers.

I developed my `Flight' bird series while we were in lockdown during April after seeing our local birds freely flying around, totally oblivious to the Human Pandemic. 

My little Kotare (NZ Sacred Kingfisher) dives down with wings out-stretched.

Highly polished sterling silver 15mm x 15mm, suspended from a 45cm fine sterling silver chain, with a 5cm extender.
