Great Black-backed Gull Print

A print of my original painting of the Great Black-Backed Gull, the largest gull in the world, with its black back, pale pink legs and heavy bill. It is a bird of rocky coasts, estuaries and islands, taking fish, seabird chicks and carrion.

The Great Black Backed Gull is on the Red list of the UK's Birds of Conservation Concern, the highest level of concern, in a 2024 update to the seabird assessment, following severe declines in its breeding numbers. Seabirds face pressures from changes in food supply, disturbance at breeding sites and, more recently, outbreaks of avian influenza.

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 some information on simple ways to help our Red Listed birds.
