When nature writer Amy-Jane Beer moved to her current home, it seemed like the perfect rural dream. However, there then came an insistent knocking sound every morning - a pair of carrion crows would tap the windows, affronted by their reflections. Amy describes watching and learning to love these birds, which she sees as her quirky, idiosyncratic neighbours.

Presented by Amy-Jane Beer and produced by Sophie Anton for BBC Audio in Bristol.

Featuring a recording by Martin Billard from Xeno-Canto (Carrion Crow - XC929595)
