Meet Seamus! An inquisitive and lovable little farm dog who lives with Farmer Lily and all the
animals on Glenmore Farm. A cheeky and curious pup, Seamus loves nothing more than
sneaking away from his farm work to find exciting adventures in the wild.
He travels through woods, meadows, coasts and rivers, meeting all sorts of interesting creatures, from pine martens, foxes and minibeasts to kingfishers, squirrels, woodpeckers and deer.
On each adventure, Seamus discovers fascinating facts about the natural world around him
like bu5erflies taste food with their feet, kingfishers eat eighteen fish a day and grey seals
can’t actually swim when they’re born!
Seamus is always full of questions and eager to dive head first into new adventures with
boundless enthusiasm. On his travels, he peeps into the world of minibeasts, meets a pair of
excitable pygmy goats, plays hide and seek with some fox cubs and discovers that a caterpillar
is really a baby butterfly in disguise. He makes friends with otters in the estuary and plays
statues with a rather haughty heron. He learns that terrapins do NOT belong in an Irish river
and hoverflies may look like bees but they don’t sing.
Through Seamus, our young audience will gain a greater understanding of the nature that lies
under their nose, whether it’s seeing the wonder in a /ny bee or recognizing the tweets of
newly hatched baby birds.
