Hi Will,
Thank you so much for leaving feedback on our needle felt Sir David Attenborough decoration. We're really sorry to hear that it didn't meet your expectations and doesn't resemble the photo as you were hoping. This is one of our more popular decorations and customers are normally very happy with these items. We're happy to offer an exchange for a different David Attenborough, or to refund this for you. We will email you to arrange this.
With very best wishes,
Lucy
