A Wild Irish Year

A Wild Irish Year is a captivating new four-part series bringing us all across our glorious country.

In each episode, Tara Shine, Rob Gandola and Eoin Warner will guide us through a single season showcasing some of our most spectacular natural events across wild coasts, woodlands, towns and cities.

Filmed over the course of a year, cutting-edge technologies have allowed the team to capture Ireland’s changing seasons.

On this episode, viewers will take in the wonder of Ireland in Autumn.

In the depths of the country's woodland, we'll find stunning fungi emerge from rotting vegetation, deciduous trees in dazzling colours and our native red squirrel, stockpiling for the months ahead.

We may even come across a family of lively badgers who make the most of the milder Autumn nights to fatten up.
