Episode 7

Barra meets Andrea Cowan as she picks up an injured hedgehog brought in to the local vet. She runs Loughgall Hedgehog Rescue, where Barra meets some of the hedgehogs she’s currently caring for. Six-year-old Ronan Mckenna started filming woodpeckers, red squirrels and badgers during lockdown. Barra goes on a wildlife-spotting trip with him and his dad Donal. Barra visits one of Northern Ireland’s premier birding spots – Oxford Island on the shores of Lough Neagh. Former water ski champion Janet Gray, who is blind and a lover of wildlife, is joined by birdcall expert Dot Blakely, and the three try their hand at ear birding, created so that blind or visually impaired people can distinguish different types of birds through their calls.
