Pochard Print

A print of my original painting of the Pochard, a diving duck with a chestnut-red head and grey body, found on lakes, reservoirs and flooded gravel pits, where it dives to feed on water plants and small animals.

Why is the Pochard Red-listed? The Pochard is on the Red list of the UK's Birds of Conservation Concern, the highest level of concern, and is classed as Vulnerable to extinction globally. Both its breeding and wintering numbers in the UK have fallen. Poorer water quality, reduced food and the loss of ducklings to predators are thought to be among the pressures, though the full picture is still being studied.

Your print is A4 size and will be mounted and ready to frame. Mount is 5.5cm width making the artwork 41cm x 31cm in total. The print can be removed from the mount and backing should you wish to present it in a different type of mount or in a collection. Also included is information on this particular bird and simple ways to help our Red Listed birds.
