Robert Gillmor
Gillmor, a keen ornithologist started his long career as an illustrator at the age of 15 with drawings for the monthly magazine British Birds. Since then he has illustrated over 100 books, and served on council for all three of the national organisations: RSPB, British Ornithologists’ Union and the British Trust for Ornithology.
