Neville Henry P. Cayley, often referred to as Neville Cayley Senior, was an Australian artist and ornithologist renowned for his detailed and vibrant illustrations of Australian birds. Born in 1854 in Dover, England, Cayley emigrated to Australia in 1877, where he would go on to make significant contributions to the field of ornithology through his art. His work is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail and lifelike representation of avian species, which has been instrumental in both scientific study and public education about Australia's diverse birdlife.

Cayley's passion for ornithology was evident in his numerous publications and illustrations, which were widely acclaimed for their accuracy and artistic quality. His most notable work, "What Bird is That?" published posthumously in 1931, became a seminal guide for birdwatchers and ornithologists in Australia. This book, illustrated by his son Neville W. Cayley, continued his legacy and cemented the Cayley name in the annals of Australian natural history.

Throughout his career, Cayley Senior contributed illustrations to various scientific journals, books, and exhibitions, earning him a reputation as one of Australia's foremost bird artists. His illustrations were not only scientifically valuable but also aesthetically pleasing, capturing the beauty and diversity of Australian bird species in a way that was accessible to both experts and the general public.

Cayley's dedication to his craft and his contributions to ornithology were recognized by his peers, and his works remain influential to this day. His legacy is preserved in the continued use and appreciation of his illustrations, which serve as a bridge between art and science, inspiring both ornithologists and artists alike.
