A life-long bird watcher and naturalist, he was a founder member of the Society of Wildlife Artists, SWLA. Busby illustrated over 35 books about birds and animals, mostly about behaviour, ranging from seabirds to tigers, garden birds to otters.

The book which summed up his whole approach to nature and art was the 2013 Looking at Birds - An Antidote to Field Guides.
