Ireland's Wild River: The Mighty Shannon

Episode 8 of 10

Wildlife film. Cameraman Colin Stafford-Johnson explores Ireland's mighty river Shannon and reveals the intimate lives of the wildlife he encounters.

Running through the heart of Ireland, the Shannon is the longest river in the British Isles. For locally born naturalist and cameraman Colin Stafford-Johnson, it is also the wildest. Amongst the river's cast are kingfishers and predatory pike, and living on its banks are native red squirrels. On a seasonal journey in his faithful canoe, Colin paddles along the Shannon to reveal its wild treasures.
