The Black-Collared Swallow bird (Mustavyöpääsky) is the Corning bird of year 2020. A special production for CMoG (The Corning Museum of Glass) in 2020 by Iittala Finland. The edition was limited to 200 numbered individuals! The design is by famous professor Oiva Toikka.
The bird is shiny black and white, with a transparent orange-red beak. Because of the size and color of the beak one might as well give this bird the nickname "Eurasian Oystercatcher", (meriharakka).
This cute individual is taking a quick glance on something interesting on the right side, slightly leaning the head to the right. This very cute position is best caught on the third picture.
This model is described on page 199 in the new book "Toikan Lasilinnut - Toikka's Glass Birds".
