A common sight throughout much of the UK, magpies are the subject of many myths and legends - including the famous nursery rhyme, “One for sorrow, two for joy”. As the words of the rhyme suggests, these social corvids will often gather in groups, making their presence known with noisy, chattering calls. Nature writer Michael Malay often sees magpies in the woods near his home in the city of Bristol. Out for a walk one evening, Michael comes across a group of them perched in a stand of ash trees, making a lot of noise, and wonders what they might be 'talking' about. Presented by Michael Malay and produced by Jo Peacey. A ��ѿ��ý Audio Bristol production.
