Today I am pleased to be taking part in Unbound and Random Thing's blog tour to celebrate the publication of Aaron Reynold's 'Effin' Birds'.
Effin' Birds is the most eagerly anticipated new volume in the grand and noble profession of nature writing and bird identification. Sitting proudly alongside Sibley, Kaufman, and Peterson, this book contains more than 150 pages crammed full of classic, monochrome plumage art paired with the delightful but dirty aphorisms (think "I'm going to need more booze to deal with this week") that made the Effin' Birds Twitter feed a household name. Also included in its full, Technicolor glory is John James Audubon's most beautiful work matched with modern life advice. Including never-before-seen birds, insults, and field notes, this guide is a must-have for any effin' fan or birder
'Effin Birds: A Field Guide to Identification' is the perfect gift for a bird watcher this Christmas - it is not the traditional bird spotting guidebook, with tongue in cheek humour annotating the beautiful illustrations.
The book is a one of those titles that can be left on a coffee table (not around small children) and dipped into for a moment of light relief and humour. The illustrations are beautifully drawn and detailled. Alongside each illustration is a description, often of what the bird may be thinking which will leave the reader laughing out loud at Aaron's great sense of humour and imagination.
Thank you to Unbound and Random Things Blog Tours for inviting me to take part in the blog tour and for a copy of the book in return for an honest review.
