“The birds of the many islands of Fiji are varied, beautiful and sometimes very shy.  W. J. Belcher has therefore done a great service by producing, as a result of long and patient study, a superb collection of paintings covering most of the dominant species.  These paintings are sensitively handled and accurate in detail, and nothing comparable has been done by any other artist.”
