The Nest - Maryjo Koch

This over sized volume is full of beautiful watercolour sketches of bird nests, from small ones of bits of down and grass to the large stick mounds. Ms. Koch's love of her subject comes through on every page. A visual delight and full of information about the homes of our feathered friends.
My favourite spread is one that shows in great detail all of the many bits and pieces that birds will use to create their dwellings.
