Critics Review
Enjoyable and entertaining
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 *
