| Black-tailed Godwits - but who can identify the overhead tern species? |
STUNNING bird art by John Cyril Harrison (1898-1985), Archibald Thorburn (1860-1935) and others is expected to attract lively bidding when Yorkshire-based auction house Tennants hosts a sale of British, European and Sporting Art at its saleroom in Leyburn on November 15.
The pre-sale guide prices for the three Harrison paintings - Black-tailed Godwit, White-tailed Eagles and Fulmar - are in the range of £200-£600.
Meanwhile, the hammer is expected to fall at between £300 and £500 on Thorburn's study of Stonechats and a Ringed Plover.
