Episode 1/2

Conamara is often described as being more sea than land. Eoin begins his wild journey just offshore, where he encounters Grey seals and Basking Sharks, just some of the creatures that move through this watery realm. He visits abandoned islands, now home to a myriad of avian athletes who travel some of the greatest journeys on earth. On MacDara’s Island, the annual seafarers’ mass takes place every July. Between the islands, cattle swim in search of their dinner. We meet Corncrake Life, who, alongside local farmers, have managed to turn the tide on the fate of our beloved Corncrake.
