Working on my bird book. Jake clearly likes the hotel room 🙃 #corneliafunke #birds #birdbook #sleepingdog #hotel
Oh what a magical unforgettable book! The one book I would take to the deserted island. So much truth, poetry and passion. And birds!!!!! Of course, hope has feathers. A deep bow of gratitude to MacFarlane and Morris! #corneliafunke #thebookofbirds #robertmacfarlane #jackiemorris #ornithology
This is my Morning Book. I write down all the birds I see and hear with a lot of help from the Merlin Bird ID App. And then I sketch one or two to really understand them. And I learn the names in Italian and German and English. #corneliafunke #notebook #birds #cornelllabofornithology #merlinbirdid

Taking a detour on our way to England. With a dog walk near Schloss Raesfeld, close to where I was born (but definitely not in a castle) 🙃 #corneliafunke #schlossraesfeld #hometown #dogwalk #england

I prepare my books by filling many notebooks with sketches and notes. A book starts breathing in far more playful and inventive ways when the hand holds a pen and fills pages following its own rhythm and … the story! 😊 Photos: Michael Orth #corneliafunke #research #notebooks #author #writing #story
