Hand carved and painted wooden bird sculpture of a Curlew captured in an elegant preening pose and mounted on a wooden plinth.

With its slender down curved bill the Curlew can probe deeply into the mud in estuaries and salt marshes.

Its distinctive cry, which echoes its name, is unmistakable once identified and thereafter always reminiscent of the empty places this bird inhabits.

In spring the bird’s territorial call is a bubbly rising crescendo of notes which can be heard over its upland breeding grounds.

Made from sustainable wood, each sculpture has a lovely authentic and highly individual character. Each carved bird and base is unique and therefore may vary slightly.

All the birds in this range are designed in the UK by British artists and produced in Bali under fair trading conditions.
