Common Garden Birds in the City of Kingston
Gould League’s Sustainability Centre is in the heart of the City of Kingston, so to encourage the local community (and visitors to our centre) to enjoy time in nature (to improve physical and mental health and well being – and to improve their local bird identification skills), we developed a poster and resources based on our most popular archive Common Garden Birds poster which depicts some of the magnificent common birds you can find in in City of Kingston.
If you are not a collector or live out of the City of Kingston, you may wish to purchase our regular “Common Garden Birds” poster.

Artwork by Peter Trusler Circa 1976.
Peter Trusler, is a famous Australian artist best known for his wildlife art, as well as for his scientifically rigorous reconstructions of prehistoric fauna. His artwork is featured in numerous books and scientific publications, and several of Trusler’s pieces are held in the National Library of Australia. His reconstructions have been featured on the cover of two issues of the Journal of Palaeontology (in 2009 and 2013). In 1993 his work appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, and he has produced three Australia Post stamp series. His paintings have also appeared in scientific exhibitions, including displays at the Melbourne Museum and the “Wildlife of Gondwana” exhibition at the Monash Science Centre in Melbourne, Australia.
Trusler has contributed to much original research within the field of palaeontology, both due to his work in illustrating fossil specimens and through reconstructions of extinct organisms. He is the namesake for the extinct monotreme Teinolophos trusleri, discovered on the Victorian coast in December 2000, a significant find for which he illustrated the holotype specimen.
Gould League are honoured to have had Peter produce this artwork so many years ago.
