Candida Meyrick

‘These life-lessons from a hawk have proved transformative. I love exploring her world through words and pictures. She is my spirit-guide, teacher, soul-companion.’

The book cover for "Be More Bird" by Candida Meyrick. It features a detailed, realistic illustration of a hawk landing on a branch with its wings spread wide against a textured, light grey background. The cover includes a quote from Paul Theroux and the handwritten subtitle "life-lessons from a hawk".

Be More Bird: Life Lessons
from a Hawk

due out January 2026

“2020: when the world is grounded, Bird arrives in the life of Candida Meyrick, living with her small family on Anglesey. Training her over the following months, a deep love-affair with life on the wing unfolds and their lives will never be the same again. 

Bird crosses boundaries: between species, cultures, sky and earth. In this way, Be More Bird is a fable for our times.”

Published on January 29th, 2026 with William Collins. 

‘A small masterpiece, written with heart, self-belief and wisdom. Wonderful!’  – Paul Theroux.

Four Paths, One Journey

A Creative Life

My work is woven from four distinct yet interconnected threads: the narrative world of an author, the visual language of an artist, the primal connection of a falconer, and the innovative spirit of an entrepreneur. Each discipline informs and enriches the others.
