Migration
Migration is a hand-crafted, printed newsletter tracing the quiet marvels of birdlife in and around Sydney. Each issue is a tender field note from my world — a blend of personal observation, ecological reverence, and artistic reflection.
Inside each envelope, you’ll find a curated offering:
– a monthly focus on one companion bird, complete with artistic illustration and sticker
– a photograph from my camera, capturing a moment of stillness or flight– lyrical field notes drawn from real sightings and locations
– a poem or short passage
– a gentle prompt to carry through the month
– and a non-exhaustive epilogue: birds seen, remembered, and named.
Rooted in the rhythm of noticing and the soft work of paying attention, Migration is for those who find meaning in feathered things, quiet weather, and the ecology of feeling.
