Camouflaged Couples Crepuscular Defence Hiding Mimicry Nightjar Nightjars Nocturnal Protection Puzzle Sleeping Pairs
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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
Can you spot the hidden gems? These masterful Spotted Nightjars have taken camouflage to a whole new level! Nestled at the base of a Mulga bush in Alice Springs, Australia, this sneaky pair has found the perfect hiding spot for their beauty sleep. With their intricate patterns and feathered disguises, they blend seamlessly into their surroundings, leaving even the keenest eyes puzzled. It's like playing hide-and-seek with nature's finest artists! The nightjars' mimicry skills are on full display as they effortlessly merge with the bark and leaves of their habitat. Their cryptic colors and clever positioning make them virtually invisible to predators during daylight hours. Talk about defense mechanisms! But don't be fooled by their sleepy appearance - these nocturnal creatures come alive after dusk. As crepuscular beings, they take flight under the moonlight, gliding gracefully through the Australian outback in search of insects to feast upon. So next time you find yourself wandering along St Teresa's Road in Alice Springs, keep your eyes peeled for these elusive lovebirds. They may be tucked away in plain sight but capturing a glimpse of these camouflaged wonders is truly worth it!
