We’re delighted to see one of our own on air 🐦‍⬛

Dr Fionn Ó Marcaigh – author of Encounters with Corvids, published by us at Natural World Publishing – is featured on RTÉ Radio 1, speaking with Terry Flanagan on Mooney Goes Wild (Monday, April 20th 2026). Very happy to have organised this lovely radio moment.

Terry follows Fionn into the field in County Kildare, where Fionn is working with the National Parks and Wildlife Service on a rookery survey.

🎙️Tune in to hear the full conversation (and plenty more wildlife stories) here: https://www.rte.ie/radio/radio1/mooney/2026/0420/1569131-mooney-goes-wild-monday-april-20th-2026/

Many thanks to all the birders and nature lovers who joined us yesterday at the Botanic Gardens Auditorium for Dr Fionn Ó Marcaigh’s inspiring talk.

We got a real glimpse into the fieldwork of a professional ornithologist – from rainforests in Indonesia to the wild landscapes of Madagascar – and saw how careful observation and data collection reveal extraordinary insights into bird behaviour and evolutionary adaptation.

🌟And a wonderful historical nugget: Alfred Russel Wallace (1823–1913), co-discoverer of the theory of evolution by natural selection, once stood in Dublin to receive an Honorary Doctorate from Trinity College Dublin in 1882! What a learning – that’s the beauty of live events.

🪶 If you’d like to dive deeper, ‘Encounters with corvids’ by Fionn Ó Marcaigh is available in bookstores nationwide or via Natural World Publishing’s website.

Just in case you haven't realised yet how special this book is, here's another glorious review we've missed before (it was posted on our website in November '25!):

"Fabulous nuggets of knowledge and beautifully detailed illustrations.
I've never wanted to read a book more slowly than this, because it's an absolute delight. They're a threatened species, people with oodles of expertise yet a beautiful ability to lay out that knowledge in ways that are absorbing and easily understood by a non-expert like me. Well done, Fionn. And what slows me down even more is the absolute gorgeousness of Aga's illustrations. The eye for detail, the breath of life than she pencils in to the drawings... wonderful. I got extremely lucky for my birthday this year. :)"

Nick M.

I love that Nick described Fionn as 'a threatened species' as that's what I think of him myself; full of knowledge, extremely talented, yet so, so modest – a wonderful, refreshing, and a very rare combination in today's word! 🙏🌟
