Oriental pratincole (Glareola maldivarum)

from ₹1,475.00

The oriental pratincole (Glareola maldivarum), also known as the grasshopper-bird or swallow-plover, is a wader in the pratincole family, Glareolidae.These birds have short legs, long pointed wings and long forked tails. They have short bills, which is an adaptation to aerial feeding. The back and head are brown, and the wings are brown with black flight feathers. The belly is white. The underwings are chestnut. Very good views are needed to distinguish this species from other pratincoles, such as the very similar collared pratincole, which also has a chestnut underwing, and black-winged pratincole which shares the black upperwing flight feathers and lack of a white trailing edge to the wing. These features are not always readily seen in the field, especially as the chestnut underwing appears black unless excellent views are obtained.

Canvas Framed

A Printed Cotton Canvas is hand stretched over a “pine wood stretcher bar” - a thick, light weight pine wooden frame, to which the printed canvas is stapled to. Printed photo or painting is correctly sized & positioned over pine wood stretcher bar frame. Hooks are attached at the backside of Stretched Canvas for hanging this borderless frame on the wall. Pine wood stretcher bars are usually 1 inch thick & 1.5 to 2 inch in width depending on ordered size. Masking tape is used to hide stapled pins which are used to secure or hold the canvas on the stretcher frame.
