Our Garden Birds presents a refreshing perspective on 52 beloved British garden birds, making it an appealing read for bird enthusiasts, children, adults, and fans of art and design. In this beautifully crafted gift edition, pop-art street artist Matt Sewell showcases his distinctive style through charming illustrations that bring each bird to life.

Since its debut in July 2009, Sewell's Bird of the Week feature on the Caught by the River website has gained a dedicated following. His unique watercolors are not only visually striking but are complemented by imaginative descriptions that capture the essence of each bird. For instance, he humorously depicts great tits as bossing the other birds around and describes the waxwing as resembling a computer-generated samurai finch, showcasing his playful approach to nature.

This delightful book is more than just a collection of illustrations; it serves as a witty and engaging guide that will resonate with anyone who appreciates the charm of garden birds. With its quirky artistic flair and insightful commentary, Our Garden Birds is a treasure for bird lovers and a perfect addition to any bookshelf, inviting readers to explore the enchanting world of British wildlife.
