Episode Description from the Publisher

Artist Jackie Morris and writer Robert Macfarlane have already blessed us with The Lost Words and The Lost Spells and their third project together is a field guide like no other. The Book of Birds asks us to really look and listen to a selection of birds whose future is under threat. We sat down with them both to discover more about the importance of drawing and painting from life rather than death, how to find the voice of each bird and what any one of us can do to engage more with the wonder of these incredible animals.
