IWT Webinar: The Secret Life of Crows with Ricky Whelan
Nov 17 @ 7:00 pm

The Secret Life of Crows with Ricky Whelan

Join us for another free and fantastic webinar. The Secret Life of Crows talk takes a look at the corvid family, its members, ecology, complex societies and outstanding intelligence. It explores the crows place in a human dominated world both now and historically. The talk has recently been updated to include the summary findings of the Laois Rookery Survey 2022 which Identified 173 unique rookery sites in the county through a combination of fieldwork and citizen science.
This fun but factual exploration of the crow family is certainly for the crow fan but it may even convert a few of those more dubious of the corvids.

Date: 17th November

Time: 19:00
