Barra visits Oxford Island on the shores of Lough Neagh. He tries ear birding, which allows blind or visually impaired people to distinguish different types of birds through their calls.

Barra visits 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, which allows blind or visually-impaired people to distinguish different types of birds through their calls.

Barra meets Andrea Cowan, who runs Loughgall Hedgehog Rescue, helping her care for an injured creature. He drops into Carrowhoney pet farm outside Lisnaskea where Veronica Greenaway takes him to meet wildlife from across the world including emus, rhea and raccoons.

Barra visits a couple who live on a Lough Erne narrow boat, before meeting Mark Butler from the Devenish Wildfowlers and Conservation Club who build, install and maintain specialist hides that wading birds can use for nesting.
