A selection of greeting cards each featuring an illustrative design aimed to bring awareness to some of the endangered wildlife and flowers of Britain.
Mistle Thrush (Turdus viscivorus) is a songbird often found in parks, gardens or woodland perched high in trees. This bold upright bird is thought to have got its name from its love of Mistletoe. It is also classified in the UK as Red under the Birds of Conservation Concern 4: the Red List for Birds (2015).
The Grey Partridge (Perdix prefix) is a medium sized bird with a distinctive orange face. It is found on farm and grassland but is under threat from loss of habitat. Once common it has undergone serious decline and is now classified in the UK as Red under the Birds of Conservation Concern 4: the Red List for Birds (2015).
Snake’s-head fritillary (Fritillaria melegris) This delicate wildflower with its nodding bell shaped flowers on thin green stems is classified as Vulnerable on the Vascular Plant Red Data List for Great Britain.
Spreading Bellflower (Campanula patula) This pretty star like flower prefers dappled shade and sheltered sunny locations by roadsides, lanes, banks and especially open woodland. It is facing risk of extinction in the wild due to changes in woodland management and the increased use of herbicides.
