On a wet and windy summer’s day, at the foot of Mweelrea in West Mayo, ornithologist Professor David Cabot talks with charm and candour about his love of nature and over 60 years of work as an ecologist. He gives insights into living off the land in a way that is more in harmony with the world and his passion for barnacle geese. And about how sheep don’t like it when you look at them!
