BIRDS OF THE PHOTO ARK by Joel Sartore and Noah Strycker (National Geographic £20)
AS PART of his groundbreaking project to photograph every species of animal in captivity, photographer Joel Sartore has joined with National Geographic and is circling the globe, visiting zoos and wildlife rescue centres, in a bid to capture them all. Every page of this collection of bird portraits from the series is vivid, bright and a joy to look at. From technicolour toucans to ostentatious owls (pictured), Birds Of The Photo Ark is, like all things National Geographic, brilliant.
