Meet the Corten Gannet — your garden’s newest resident bird that never needs feeding, won’t fly off, and only gets better with age. With a 120cm wingspan and striking, sculptural form, it’s made for bird lovers who prefer their feathered friends low-maintenance and rust-covered.
Perched on a 1.2m stake, it soars just above your lawn, garden bed or planter, frozen mid-flight in a rich, weathered patina that deepens beautifully over time.

About Corten:
When you first receive your Corten steel item (aka weathered steel), it may be a bright orange or sometimes a darker brown (depending on how much it’s weathered on its journey to you).
As it’s exposed to the elements, especially rain and dry spells, it naturally starts to rust. This forms a protective layer called a patina, which changes colour over time, from orange to deep brown, and eventually a rich, almost-black tone. Patina is a type of rust (but not a damaging kind). Unlike regular rust, this patina seals the surface and actually prevents further corrosion, which is why Corten is often used for outdoor structures and sculptures.
