VILLAGER JIM'S GARDEN WILDLIFE

Birds, bees and a whole host of other flora and fauna that share Villager Jim's garden in the tiny Peak District village of Foolow are featured in his book of stunning colour photographs of the regular visitors to his garden. There are birds and deer and a dove in a bed of crocuses, frogs in a spring pond, close-ups of bees and bird chicks and jenny wren and a close up of a starling where all the dots are tiny heart shapes on his chest. Dierdre the bluetit pops by and lands on his mug, a goose waddles in, a mother duck and her tribe paddle off for a morning dip in the pond, dragonflies mate, Georgy flies into Jim's hand to collect mealworms, a tawny owl hides up a tree and the many birds fly onto the garden table to be photographed in close up by this genius nature lover. And there are rats and hares and cockerels and of the course the beloved Bobbin the robin and all manner of frozen chickens waddling about in the snow. 128pp. 24.8 x 17.8cm, full page colour photos throughout.
