Birdsong

Synopsis

Ornithologist Seán Ronayne is on a mission to record the sound of every bird species in Ireland–nearly 200 birds. He travels to the country’s most beautiful and remote locations to capture its most elusive species and soundscapes: the busy seabird colony of Skellig Michael; a native woodland in the Burren; the corncrake stronghold of Tory Island. Seán’s journey illustrates the beauty and importance of sound, and what listening can tell us about the state of our natural world.
