Our Garden Birds is a delightful illustrated hardback gift book by pop artist (and ornithologist Matt Sewell), who pairs gorgeous art with descriptions of favourite garden birds.
Read our posts on how to create safe havens for birds (feeding, nest-boxes) and preventing bird strike.
From great tits ‘bossing the other birds around’ to the ‘playful yet shy buoyancy’ of bullfinches and the waxwing ‘like a computer-generated samurai finch’.
You’ll learn about common garden birds like tits, sparrows and finches, blackbirds and less common pied wagtails and redwings, along with migrating hoopoes.
From wood pigeons to ‘martins’ (house martins, swallows, swifts), tiny wrens to dunnocks, the crow family (including blue jays), robins, starlings and a few woodland birds (woodpeckers, owls and birds of prey), this is a wonderful and light-hearted read!
