Ireland's Wild Islands

1. Sea of Serpents: Begin on Rathlin, where flightless guillemot chicks take a leap of faith and golden hares welcome the dawn. Head to Tory to see basking sharks, dolphins, and the endangered corncrake’s dance of love. Then chase adorable Irish stoats across Achill.
2. Edge of the Abyss: Continue the odyssey along Ireland’s west coast. Spy on the love affairs of grey seals in the Inishkea Islands and ply Connemara’s turquoise waters. Wander in Clare’s magical woods and catch hundreds of basking sharks engaged in a mating display.
3. Echoes of the Past: Learn how Arctic terns negotiate a 50,000-mile-a-year commute to summer in Kerry’s Maharee Islands. Go whale-watching off Brandon Head, then witness Ireland’s greatest wildlife spectacle: a 1,000-strong colony of grey seals on Great Blasket Island. (Love Nature 4K)
