Rowena read an interesting interview with Niels by Joanna Davis, Your Weekend, The Post newspaper. Loved the quote "I'm just a messenger, helping people stop in their tracks and look more closely. Things we overlook in nature can be hugely interesting and variable." 4th October 2025 - Click here to visit www.thepost.co.nz/your-weekend
In this illustrated nature journal, Niels Meyer-Westfeld explores the feathers of Aotearoa’s native birds, from the long wing feathers of an albatross that enable it to soar endlessly over the oceans, to the tiny, insulating feathers of a penguin.
Feathers are one of nature’s most remarkable evolutionary developments, an ingenious solution to the countless environmental challenges that birds face. This exquisitely illustrated book, that combines artwork with compelling insights, will reveal a largely unknown aspect of the avian world, and will appeal to anyone with an interest in our unique bird life.
