Turtle Doves Print

A print of my original painting of a pair of Turtle Doves, the UK's only migratory dove, recognisable by its chequered chestnut wings and the soft, purring song that gives it its name. It nests in thick hedgerows and scrub on farmland.

The Turtle Dove 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. It is one of the UK's fastest-declining birds. It has lost the weed seeds it feeds on and the scrub it nests in, faces hunting and habitat loss on its migration to West Africa, and is vulnerable to disease.

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. Alao included is information on this particular bird and some information on simple ways to help our Red Listed birds.
