The first-ever recording of a corncrake breeding display in Donegal will be unveiled in a new nature documentary series beginning tomorrow, Sunday.
Ireland’s Wild Islands visited Malin Head and Tory Island for some breathtaking wildlife events including our most unique residents.
The series will follow Corkman Eoin Warner as he heads west to Malin Head and Inishtrahull meeting Basking Sharks and Dolphins en route before witnessing a remarkable breeding display of endangered Corncrakes on Tory island – filmed for the first time in Ireland.
He also visits Rathlin and Achill Island in the first episode.
Bren Whelan of Donegal Climbing said it was a pleasure to help the ‘Crossing The Line’ film company secure footage from Inishtrahull, Ireland’s most northerly landfall.
Three years in the making and shot in cinema-quality 4K, Ireland’s Wild Islands follows Eoin as he sails a stunning 140-year-old Galway Hooker out into the Atlantic to showcase the extraordinary wild magic of Ireland’s western islands.
Watch on RTE One Sunday 23rd April at 6.30pm.
