Review
"Horne's observations are at once funny and fascinating" * Metro (Review for 'Birdwatching' show) * "Rather like a rare bird - his ostensible subject - [Horne] is a fragile delight, covering any subject with a daft, surreal charm" * The Sunday Times (Review for 'Birdwatching' show) * "Remarkably touching, honest, and dryly witty" * Time Out * "Enjoyable and entertaining" -- Stephen Moss * Guardian *
