I was invited to contribute some words to Into The Red - the BTO’s (British Ornithological Trust) follow-up book to the Red Sixty-Seven.
Into the Red is a collaboration between 70 authors and 70 artists with a single goal: to raise funds to support conservation work aiming to reverse the declines of our most at-risk birds. Contributors include Nick Hayes, Nicola Davies, Jess French, Isabella Tree, Richard Mabey, Amir Khan, David Gray, Jim Moir, Harriet Mead, Brigit Strawbridge, Mackenzie Crook, Megan McCubbin, and many others besides me.
Each writer is allotted an endangered bird to write about and paired with an illustrator. I have the privilege of my words about the Starling sitting beside the incredible work of Ben Rothery.
Profits from the sale of this book are donated to BTO and The Rare Breeding Birds Panel to further their work on Red-listed birds. This book is a work of art. You can get your copy here.
