A Wild Irish Year

Summer (1x2)

Data di messa in onda: Mag 20, 2018

Summertime and the living is easy, so the famous lyrics claim, but not quite so for the natural world. As human family routines relax and the focus moves to holidays, the natural world cannot afford such luxuries and it pushes into overdrive. From nesting birds to hatching insects, feeding whales to playful cubs – the summer season is all about the next generation. In episode 2, Eoin shares his love of Bees as he reveals the complex process of honey making in his beehives. Tara brings us the story of the Curlew and its catastrophic decline in the Irish countryside, while Rob brings us his personal favourite Irish animals, lizards – both those with and without legs! We meet a sheep shearing family who travel the farms of Ireland getting their sheep ready for the summer ahead and a whale watcher who wandered onto the Dingle Peninsula 25 years ago and hasn’t left since.
