208: Encounters with Corvids – Fionn Ó Marcaigh

This image shows the cover of a book titled "Encounters with Corvids" by Fionn Ó Marcaigh, illustrated by Aga Grandowicz. The cover features a striking black corvid (likely a crow or raven) in flight against a white background, with its wings spread wide and red-orange colouring visible on parts of its head and beak. The bird is captured mid-flight, creating a dramatic and dynamic composition. The title text is arranged vertically along the right side in large, bold black lettering, with the author's name at the top and illustrator's credit at the bottom.
