Are corvids overabundant pests or survivors in landscapes we've shaped? Why do these birds seem to watch us as intently as we watch them? This episode explores Ireland's corvids, from familiar rooks and jackdaws to acrobatic choughs and elusive jays. 🦉🌍🦤 @natworldpubli.bsky.social

Podcast cover art featuring two men in a split-screen format against a green background. On the left, a young man with curly brown hair wearing black-rimmed glasses and a light blue shirt, speaking into a microphone with headphones on, positioned in what appears to be an indoor setting with white doors or windows behind him. On the right, an older man with greying hair and facial hair, smiling warmly at the camera whilst wearing a dark grey or black top, with lush green foliage visible in the outdoor background behind him. The image has a professional podcast interview setup appearance with both participants clearly engaged in conversation.
