Robert Coppillie Avian Watercolour Kingfisher     Robert J Coppillie Born 1951 Watercolour %%alt5%% %%alt6%%
We are offering for sale this delightful, large watercolour by the artist ROBERT J. COPPILLIE, who has signed the painting to the lower right. The painting depicts a Kingfisher perched on the dead branch of a conifer, covered in lichen.

The Common Kingfisher (Alcedo atthis), also known as the Eurasian Kingfisher and river kingfisher, is a small kingfisher with seven subspecies recognized within its wide distribution across Eurasia and North Africa. It is resident in much of its range, but migrates from areas where rivers freeze in winter.

This sparrow-sized bird has the typical short-tailed, large-headed kingfisher profile it has blue upperparts, orange underparts and a long bill. It feeds mainly on fish, caught by diving, and has special visual adaptations to enable it to see prey under water. The glossy white eggs are laid in a nest at the end of a burrow in a riverbank.

This is the second avian watercolour by this artist that we are currently listing. Please see our stock for sale page for the other, which is of a yellow wagtail.
