This flock of Godwits shelf ornament is a unique keepsake that celebrates the spirit of travel & adventure. It is part of our Wader Quest collection of wading bird art. Famous for their record-breaking migrations across the globe, Godwits symbolize resilience, exploration, & the beauty of life's journeys. Thoughtfully designed by Elis Simpson & elegantly crafted, this ornament makes a meaningful gift for birthdays, retirements, weddings, anniversaries, housewarmings, or holidaysperfect for friends, family, teachers, or anyone who loves birds, nature, or the call of adventure. More than dcor, it's a lasting reminder to embrace the journey & treasure every step along the way & it radiates coastal charm The sculpture is laser cut from stainless steel, then sanded by Paul to create a reflective lustre which will shine & sparkle as it catches the light. This creates a changing appearance as the light varies throughout the day. The black version is finished with satin black paint to create a stunning silhouette. As it is made from stainless steel our flock will stay shiny significantly longer than mild steel would (think of your kitchen sink!) so will therefore look amazing in your indoor or outdoor space & also makes a distinctive 11 year steel anniversary gift. The Godwits ornament is available in 2 sizes: Large: 400mm x 50mm x 20mm Small: 303mm x 38mm x 10mm Visit the birds section of our shop to see more shelf ornaments & other wading birds including the Godwit, Curlew, Lapwing, Sanderling & Avocet.

Their long bills allow them to probe deeply in the sand for aquatic worms & molluscs. in their winter range, they flock together where food is plentiful.

Nearly half (48%) of wader species, where a population trend is known, are in decline. That is why Rick & Elis Simpson set up Wader Quest in 2012. Their mission is to promote, for the benefit of the public, the conservation & protection of waders or shorebirds & improvements of their physical & natural habitats; & to advance the
