Aggression Defensive Flying Seabirds Sterna Paradisaea Terns Wings
17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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.

Meet our feisty protagonist, an Arctic tern adult who's not afraid to show off its defensive skills. With wings spread wide and determination in its eyes, this fierce seabird takes on what it perceives as a threat to its precious nest. Perched on the stunning Farne Islands in the UK, under the warm embrace of the sun's golden rays, this brave tern showcases both aggression and bravery. Its vibrant white plumage contrasts beautifully against the deep blue sky as it fearlessly dives towards any potential intruders. With every flap of its wings, you can almost hear this spirited bird shouting, "Not on my watch!". Its beak poised for action and talons ready to strike if necessary – nothing will stop it from safeguarding its sanctuary.
