“Perera highlights both [birds’] universal characteristics (wings, beaks, feathers, two legs) and the many adaptations that have allowed them to survive in nearly every kind of habitat from oceans to cities and polar regions. Galbany follows suit with a bountiful gallery of species, all depicted in stylized but precise detail and in natural settings and attitudes but with plenty of inserted close-up views of distinctive beaks, nests, patterned feathers, and anatomical structures…
An informative and engaging introduction to birds written by wildlife TV presenter and bird watcher, Nadeem Perera.
A richly illustrated book detailing everything that makes a bird a bird. Featuring birds from all over the world, and peppered with clear case studies on different bird species and punchy fact files on all things beaks, feathers, migration, nesting and more, the book also closes with a chapter on connecting with birds and becoming a birder.

El otro día paseando por el Born descubrí esta serie de postales de la ciudad diseñadas por Montse Galbany. Me encanta el estilo entre retro y contemporáneo, con una paleta de colores llamativa pero elegante y las tipografías que crea para cada postal. Precioso. pic.twitter.com/uiKqEf2wlt
