This unusual item of artwork is set to go under the hammer at a sale in Leyburn, North Yorkshire on January 14. It is curious because the species is a chough - famous as the county bird of Cornwall but never known to have been seen or heard in Grimsby or anywhere in Lincolnshire. The auctioneers are Tennants ( https://www.tennants.co.uk) who have set a guide price for the watercolour and ink illustration (lot 1044) of between £100 and £200.
