One for Sorrow The Magpie Story and A Pheasant called Francis

In today's Nature StoryTeller podcast, we have two new stories to share with you. The first story is our interpretation of a traditional rhyme that generations of children and adults have been singing for around 500 years. This rhyme is still commonly sung whenever people spot one or more magpies.

I want to thank our regular listeners. Although Nature StoryTeller is still a new podcast, only launching this last Samhain, we are delighted and humbled to have thousands of you joining us to listen to our stories.

We will release A Christmas Special on the Winter Solstice to celebrate Yule. So please subscribe and like wherever you get your podcasts, and ensure you never miss a story. www.naturestoryteller.org

Our second story is an original tale about a handsome and dapper woodland character. We would like to introduce you to A Pheasant called Francis.
