Between the Wingtips/Life on the Wing

Reviews

"The large format and impeccable colour photography give full justice to Brutus Östling’s fantastic pictures. This is first class bird pornography for hard core bird spotters and amateurs alike. Classic poses are mixed with breathtaking portraits … When you have recovered from looking at the pictures you discover that there is text too, written by Magnus Ullman, one of our most renowned ornithologists. He gives an initiated account of various aspects of bird life and behaviour. The texts are just as informative and fascinating as the pictures".

"It makes you wonder if bird photography can get much better than this".

"The newly published "On the Wing" contains some of the most beautiful and artful bird photographs I have ever seen .. A Swedish bird photographer of international stature.

"A world class Swedish nature photographer".

"Brutus Östling keeps the highest international standards in all respects".

"What amazing pictures! … A magnificent book to please the eye. It stands out among all the books that are being published right now."

"Stunning bird photography … The Pandabook of the Year (2006) belongs in every bird lover’s collection … A useful and enjoyable book … On the Wing can be recommended, especially because of the pictures".

"The pictures are sensational. They are so good that they can be appreciated by people who do not have a special interest in birds".

"It is an incredibly beautiful, large-format book of stunning bird photography".

"Nature books can sometimes be rather similar … "On the Wing" is an important exception. Here we find pictures and text of the very highest quality. Photographer Brutus Östling illustrates humour and fear, beauty and snow storms, sharp and unsharp focus. All the pictures are in a class of their own … I give it five out of five".

"Marvellous photography … On the Wing is a wonderful picture book about birds, a magnificent volume".

"There is no doubt about it, Brutus Östling’s bird photographs – from Sweden to the Antarctic – are special … Brutus Östling caters even to the most discerning eye."
