British Birds Calendar

British Birds Calendar Description

Bird watchers and art-lovers will delight in these lovely paintings of our native birdlife by Jeremy Paul, colourfully portrayed throughout the seasons in the British Birds calendar. Each exquisite painting shows birds in their natural habitat individually, in groups, or pairs. Insightful notes give background information about its behaviour and habitat as well as its Latin name.

We see in one painting the green woodpecker, recognisable by its green and yellow plumage, crimson crown and its laughing call. It rarely drums on trees like other woodpeckers, but uses its strong bill to peck at the ground for ants and other insects, extracting them with its tongue. Coal tits are shown in another painting, reflected in the water. Abundant in the UK, they prefer coniferous woodland, but also inhabit mixed woodland, parks and gardens, searching for insects, seeds and nuts on trunks and branches, often hanging upside down.
