Artist Talks: Seán Ronayne
Listen now
Description
Hello! This is already our fourth episode of the series Artist Talks. Our guest today is Seán Ronayne, an ornithologist and zoologist with a mission to record all the bird species in Ireland and to inspire change through his work and the fascination he nurtures by animal behaviour and outdoors. One very fascinating topic Seán shares about is how we can listen to the birds' stories if we pay attention to their mimicry. So prepare yourself as we're going to listen to some incredible bird vocalisations on this episode. As always, we also talk about being in nature and wander in nature at night... alone but holding a parabola.
