Here are my Birdwatching Logbooks, created using my gouache illustrations alongside some identification text to help you spot the birds of interest in your area. I have been a birdwatcher for many years and I am really keen to encourage everyone to get out there and appreciate our fantastic British birds.
“Handbag-sized nature logbooks, just what I’ve been waiting for since I started my birding journey!
Charlie Bingham, author of The Life-Affirming Magic of Birds
Birdwatching logbooks: the main features
There are 6 in the Habitat series:
- Town & Country Garden Birds

- Birds of Westminster
- Birds of Arundel
- Birds of the South Downs
- Birds of the Seven Sisters
They are a 9 x 14cm pocketbook with rounded corners, and a sturdy cover to protect the book when you’re out and about. Each page has a little table where you can jot down the date as well as the location, weather, or other aide memoire to help you build up a bank of information about the birds you see. There are also a couple of blank pages at the back for notes and sketches, and a quick ticklist to record your progress.
The logbooks are printed here in Sussex on art-grade FSC paper with vegetable inks, and are plastic-free. They are fully customisable and you can personalise them to suit the occasion.
The books are aimed at anyone who wants to increase their knowledge of birds and hone their birdwatching skills. It’s so important to conserve this hobby and encourage others – especially youngsters – to recognise the birds around us so having a little book that you can keep in your pocket, rucksack or glove box to check off your bird sightings will increase your ability to spot them when out and about. They are also a great memento of a visit or holiday, or even just a weekend at home with the family, (particularly grandchildren) or friends.
“It’s just what I’ve been looking for. I’m always walking up and down the North Kent coast and the only flying thing I can recognise is a pigeon! This is just the right size to keep in my pocket. It might not cover all the birds I might see but it’s a great introduction and I can get a bigger book if I really get into it.”
Brian Lawrence, Coast & Clifftop Birds
The illustrations are simplified and stylised to help you quickly learn the diagnostic features as so rarely do we have the pleasure of seeing the whole bird in great light, so the colours and arrangement of white or black on the body and wings as well as beak and leg colour are great quick visual clues as to who is lurking in the shrubbery or dashing across your field of vision.
The birdwatching logbooks have arrived and are as beautiful as I remembered from my last order.
