The lives and work of two outstanding wildlife artists, David Morrison Reid-Henry and Ron David Digby, linked by a shared passion for falconry and birds of prey. David Fox presents a discursive account of the art and history of these two talented painters. Reid-Henry was already well established as an artist and illustrator, when the your Digby moved with his family to live next door. Reid-Henry nurtured Digby's interest in birds of prey and in painting, seeing him develop into a respected falconer and world-renowned bird artist.
