Barra starts off on the Inishowen peninsula in Donegal, where he meets Killian McLaughlin, who has set up Wild Ireland, an animal sanctuary for rescued animals. Barra helps him with the feeding rounds and gets up close with some of the bigger animals.

Further east along the coast, Barra comes to the species-rich dunes of Umbra Nature Reserve, near Magilligan. There, he meets maverick moth recorder Andy Crory and goes on an overnight moth survey among the dunes.

Barra then heads up to Ballycastle and takes the ferry over to Rathlin in search of Irish hares. There is one in particular that he is keen to see - the golden hare. He meets local photographer Tom McDonnell, one of only a handful of people to have ever photographed this elusive creature. The pair head off on a long search across the island to try and catch a glimpse of one.

Barra then heads to Downhill Beach, where he meets Gavin Wallace, an artist who uses rakes to create huge, temporary artworks in the sand. Together with a group of local people, they make one of Gavin鈥檚 biggest pieces before Barra enlists the help of a drone operator to reveal their creation from the sky.

Barra then heads out to sea from Ballycastle with local fisherman Ian Latham and conservationist Erin McKeown. He is taking part in a project that is monitoring the population of sharks, rays and skates. Barra helps the team as they measure, tag and release sharks, and hears from Ian and Erin about the importance of their work.
