Alcyon Belted Ceryle February Kingfisher
23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

Feathers, Fish, and Freeze - The Kingfisher's Winter Wonderland!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot from Ardea Wildlife Pets Environment, we witness the enchanting world of a belted kingfisher in winter. This adult male Ceryle alcyon is no ordinary bird - he's a true master of his domain! With his striking blue plumage and distinctive white collar, he stands out against the snowy backdrop like a regal monarch. As February brings frigid temperatures and icy waters, our fearless kingfisher fearlessly dives headfirst into the challenge. His sharp beak poised for action, he scans the frozen lake with unwavering focus. Though it may seem impossible to find fish beneath layers of ice, this skilled hunter knows better! With lightning speed and precision, our avian hero plunges into the freezing depths below. As if by magic, he emerges triumphantly with a glimmering prize clutched firmly in his beak - an unsuspecting fish that never saw him coming! It's nature's own thrilling game of cat-and-mouse on ice. Winter may bring its fair share of challenges to us humans but for this belted kingfisher - it’s just another day at the office! So next time you're feeling chilly or facing obstacles that seem insurmountable, take inspiration from our feathered friend here. Remember that even in the harshest conditions, determination can lead to extraordinary results!
