The Orkney Book of Birds
Author: Tim Dean
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781902957463
Category : Bird watching
Languages : en
Pages : 246
Book Description
The pictures are so nice, that the book would also be useful as a source of artistic reference pictures. All of the images are of birds in standing poses, rather than in a range of positions, however the images are skillfully drawn and reproduced on good paper, using what appears to be artist's colouring pencils.
