Barra's Wild Days Out

Barra is in the north west, and begins in the species-rich dunes of Umbra nature reserve. He meets Andy Crory, maverick moth recorder for Northern Ireland, on an overnight moth survey in the dunes. Andy successfully encourages Barra to face his fear of moths, and shares his passion for these often misunderstood insects.

Barra heads to Downhill Beach, where he meets Gavin Wallace, a beach artist who uses rakes to create huge temporary artworks in the sand. Barra joins him and a group of locals to make one of Gavin's biggest pieces, before Barra enlists the help of a drone operator to reveal the work to the group from the sky.

Catching the ferry from Magilligan Point over to the Inishowen peninsula, Barra meets Killian McLaughlin, who has setup an animal sanctuary for rescued animals, Wild Ireland. Barra helps Killian with the feeding rounds and gets up close with some of the bigger animals.
