Fans of Jim Moir (aka the comedian, writer, artist, and national treasure Vic Reeves) will already know about his love of birds. As his popularity as a painter has soared in recent years, the simplicity and sincerity of his bird paintings have given them cult status among his fans. Now, for the first time, these beautiful paintings are all gathered together in one exquisite book. Featuring paintings of one hundred British birds, each spread will feature a single bird paired with a single diverting fact. Without the padding of ornithological statistics or long descriptions, this is a book that reminds us why we love birds: because of the shapes, colours and sounds they bring into our lives.
