Atricapilla Blackcap Hands Progamme Ringing Stoc Sylvia
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.

Caught Red-Handed - A Feathered Jewel in the Palm of Science!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot, we witness a moment frozen in time as a male Blackcap finds itself gently cradled within caring hands. This delicate encounter is part of an extraordinary initiative called the STOC Programme (Sylvia atricapilla). As dedicated researchers work tirelessly to ring these beautiful birds, they unlock valuable insights into their behavior and migration patterns. The vibrant plumage of the male Blackcap shines like obsidian against the backdrop of human palms. Its ebony cap contrasts strikingly with its soft gray feathers, creating a mesmerizing sight that seems almost surreal. With each bird carefully handled and tagged for identification, it's as if nature has momentarily surrendered one of its most precious treasures to science's gentle touch. This image captures not only the beauty but also the importance of preserving our natural world. It serves as a reminder that every creature, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant, plays an integral role in maintaining ecological balance. So let us marvel at this fleeting connection between man and avian wonder! The intricate dance between research and conservation unfolds before our eyes through this remarkable photograph – reminding us all that knowledge is power when it comes to safeguarding our feathered friends like Sylvia atricapilla from any harm they may face in their ever-changing habitats.
