As we come up to the RSPB’s Big Garden Bird Watch can I recommend again this delightful book published 1989 and currently available very cheaply on the secondhand book market?
It is full of wonderful illustrations by John, many in full colour and takes you through a whole year in your garden with ideas for how to attract more birds, and how to understand their behaviour – tips as relevant now as they were then!
And the good news is that we have a few of the originals left for sale : have a look through the gallery below and let us know if you would like to buy one.
The pictures marked <buy now> are available for immediate dispatch. If you would like any of the others just drop us an email and we will reserve it for you.
