Ever since this inspiring moment, Humphrey Ocean has been attracted by the unusual behaviour and colour 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.
In this charming collection, drawn from the notebooks, paintings and sketches he has made over the years, Ocean records, often on the wing, these mysterious and elusive creatures.
