    Product story

    ‘In 1993 I saw a puffin and that was it.’

    Ever since this inspiring moment, Humphrey Ocean has been attracted by the unusual behaviour and colours of birds, finding everyday British garden visitors in all their variety quite as exotic as those he sees in the hedgerows and lake near where he stays in Africa. This special-edition book includes Tufted Duck, one of the birds included in this collection.
