Ornithologist Seán Ronayne
How do we protect something we do not love or understand?
Ornithologist Seán Ronayne from Cobh, Co. Cork is on a mission to record the sound of every bird species in Ireland – that’s nearly 200 birds - and he’ll be taking his sound-packed, illustrative talk to An Táin Arts Centre on Wednesday, 26th November at 8pm.
Seán will bring you on a beautiful journey through Irish birds, sharing their sounds, stories and struggles.
Along the way we get to know Seán, whose hypersensitivity to sound has proven both a struggle and a strength.
With his partner Alba, he ventures to some of the country’s most remote and beautiful places: the seabird colony of Skellig Michael, a quiet woodland in the Burren, Tory Island’s corncrakes, and the windswept uplands of Donegal.

At once inspiring and cautionary, Seán’s journey illustrates the beauty and importance of sound, what listening can tell us about the state of our natural world, and how it can also heal and nourish the soul.
Expect laughter, expect tears and expect the unexpected.
Not to be missed - you will never look at the world around you in the same way again.
Natureboy: The Journey of Birdsong and Belonging will come to An Táin Arts Centre on Wednesday 26th November at 8pm.
Tickets are €20 / €18 (+€1.50 booking fee per ticket) and can be purchased at the An Táin box office on Crowe St., over the phone on 042 933 2332, or online at antain.ie.
