My copy of #IntoTheRed arrived this morning, featuring a page on the yellowhammer by yours truly (accompanying artwork by alison deegan).

A beautiful but sad book, put together by YOLOBirder and Mike Toms for the BTO

It was a real honour to be asked to come up with a design to accompany Martin Hughes-Games Hawfinch text for the latest @_bto book #InToTheRedBirds . All profits from the book go to help saving those species on the Red list.

Thread: I wrote a little piece about the mistle thrush for 'Into the Red', a stunning book combining prose and beautiful images (the exquisite thrush is by Hayley Chan) in order to raise money to protect British birds on the red list - and there are so many birds on that list😢....

'High above Loch Tay in the southern Highlands stands the ridge of Meall nan
Tarmachan – ‘the hill of the Ptarmigan’.'

What a delight this book is, full of surprises. I mean, who knew Mackenzie Crook was an artist? Or that RSPB's Beccy Speight could write such pitch-perfect prose (Puffins)? Or that the mistle thrush was on the Red List?
Elated to be included, with Jo Wright's glorious lapwing

I have just received my copy of the superb BTO “into the red” book. The illustrations are magnificent. Please buy a copy, or two, one for a friend as it’s aimed at raising money and awareness of the UKs red listed birds BTO

Look what’s arrived just in time for me day off…and it’s warm enough (with a bobble hat on!) to sit by the pond and read it. It’s both enjoyable and worrying, sad to see our charismatic wee House Sparrow on the list. Some excellent contributions from BTO Scotland staff. BTO
