“My Little Bird Books”
This new series of “My Little Bird Books” by David Murray was launched in early April 2023 with the publication of the first one, Robin Redbreast. David writes as follows:
The series aims to pass on something of the enjoyment I’ve experienced in recent years, wandering around woodland, along seashores and by lakes and ponds. Training myself to keep my eyes open for birds and other wildlife, with a camera at the ready, has led to new pleasures.
At first it was just walking for relaxation and exercise but it soon became a serious hobby. Friends and family encouraged the publication of photographs online and then in print. I produced a paperback volume of almost a hundred pages, “Some of My Birds: Avian Therapy in West Cumbria”, for private distribution around Christmas 2022. It is intended to develop this into a more comprehensive hardback version during 2023.
Meanwhile this series of “My Little Bird Books” has been launched, basic introductions with lots of my photos, intended not only for young people but for anyone new to birds and wants an easy introduction, or who simply likes bird pictures. Each will contain around 36 to 48 pages of colour images and information about either a single species or a group of related species.
