Quote: "In April 2000 Joan and I visited Sweden to see the arrival of the cranes. On the marshes at Hornborgasjon in central Sweden some 8000 birds gathered, the nearest only a hundred yards away, spreading out over the fields and marshes, mingling with whooper swans, ducks and coots...I find myself responding to movement and shape; trying as I draw, to touch the deep ancestral link between bird and man, and the reverence so many cultures felt for the crane dance."

Review: "Landscape and birds have been twin passions in John Busbys life since childhood. In Land Marks & Sea Wings paintings and drawings spanning more than half a century are accompanied by his perceptive writings: from the Yorkshire of his youth he takes us to his adopted Scotland and on his worldwide travels-from Shetland to the Falklands and from Aldabra to the Galapagos, he has recorded the spectacular wildlife with accuracy and artistry in a style which is uniquely his own. Although Johns landscapes will be less familiar to wildlife enthusiasts, they are at the heart of his artistic endeavour. They bring to life the places which have inspired him, but they are also an endeavour. They bring to life places which have inspired him, but they are also an exploration of wider horizons of meaning by an artist who truly reads the land. The combination of wildlife, landscapes and Johns reflections on life and art, make this one of the most beautiful and important books ever published by a wildlife artist. Text and paintings by John Busby."
