What Types of Prints Are Available at Birds Ireland Photography?
Updated
Birds Ireland Photography sells limited edition photography prints by bird and wildlife expert Eric Dempsey, organised into three subject categories: Birds, Butterflies/Moths, and Wildlife. You can browse each category through the "All Prints" section of the site, and if you can't decide on a specific image, the shop also offers a Gift Voucher. Prints are ordered through the "Purchase Prints" page.
The three print categories
The site's menu lists the print range under a single "All Prints" entry, with the following subject groupings:
| Category | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Birds | Bird photography prints — the core subject given the site's focus on birds and its author's expertise |
| Butterflies/Moths | Lepidoptera prints, grouped together as one category |
| Wildlife | Other wildlife subjects outside birds and butterflies/moths |
If you already know what you want, going straight to the relevant category is faster than scrolling the full "All Prints" listing. If you're browsing, "All Prints" gives you the whole catalogue in one place.
What "limited edition" means here
Every print on the site is described as a limited edition print. That means each image is released in a fixed number of copies rather than being reproduced indefinitely — a common approach for wildlife and bird photography sold as collectible artwork. The practical implication for a buyer is that once a given edition sells out, that print is no longer available from the source, so a specific image you want may not stay in stock indefinitely.
The site does not publish edition sizes, print dimensions, paper type, or framing options in the material available, so if any of those details matter to your decision, check the individual print page or contact the site before ordering.
How to browse and buy
- Open the "All Prints" section from the main menu to see the full range, or use the Birds, Butterflies/Moths, and Wildlife categories to narrow down.
- Open an individual print to view the image and any details listed for it.
- Use the Wishlist feature if you want to save prints for later rather than buying immediately.
- Go to "Purchase Prints" to place an order.
One thing to expect while browsing: right-click is disabled across the site for copyright reasons. This is normal for photography shops protecting their images, but it means you can't save or copy an image directly — use the Wishlist instead if you want to keep track of a print.
Gift Vouchers
If you're buying for someone else and aren't sure which image they'd want, the Gift Voucher is the alternative to picking a specific print. It appears as its own menu item alongside the print categories, so it's a distinct purchase option rather than something you add at checkout.
Choosing between categories
- Buying for a birdwatcher or someone with a specific species interest → start with Birds, the largest and most central category.
- Buying for someone interested in insects or natural history more broadly → Butterflies/Moths.
- Buying for a general nature or wildlife enthusiast → Wildlife, or a Gift Voucher if you'd rather they choose.
- Unsure of the recipient's taste → Gift Voucher avoids the risk of picking an image they don't connect with.
The site's own framing is that these are prints from a bird and wildlife expert, so the Birds category is the natural starting point for most buyers; the other two categories exist for people whose interests sit outside birds specifically.
