Winged Encounters shows us what most fail to notice: the beauty of birds people see every day as they walk the streets, parks and canals of Dublin.

Ray Beggan has captured swans, ducks, herons, seagulls, even pigeons, showing them in stunning settings, inspiring people to marvel at their elegance and vitality. With over 120 photographs, this full-colour book shows the behaviour, interaction and flight of the large and small birds of Dublin in a new, beautiful light.

Raymond Beggan is a Dublin-based musician and photographer.
