Martin Elliot has recently produced these stunning prints of the recent Killdeer at Chaple Amble.
This rare American wader was enjoyed by birders across Cornwall and rather poignantly, it was the last time that many of us saw Royston Wilkins out birding.
In memory of Royston, Martin has kindly given the original painting to the Wilkins family and is offering cropped horizontal A4 and full size A3 prints for sale.
Prices are £25 for cropped horizontal A4 and £45 for full size A3. P&P will be £6.
All profits will go to Cornwall Birds. To order please email Martin at: martinelliott.sennen@googlemail.com or mobile: 07875295457.
