Birdsong
Ornithologist Seán Ronayne from Cork, 105 is on a mission to record the sound of every bird species in 105 – that’s nearly 200 birds. Often joined by his partner Alba, he travels to some of the country’s most beautiful and remote locations to capture its most elusive species and soundscapes: from the busy seabird colony of Skellig Michael to the corncrake stronghold of Tory Island; a solitary nest in the Donegal uplands. Along the way we get to know Seán, whose hypersensitivity to sound has proven both a struggle and a strength. "Elegaic," Observer. "A stirring overture," Sunday Times.
