Ornithologist Seán Ronayne sets out to record every Irish bird song in this moving portrait of loss and hope.

From the windswept cliffs of Skellig Michael to the wild edges of Tory Island, we follow Seán Ronayne, an Irish ornithologist on his unique quest: to record the song of every bird species in Ireland. His hypersensitivity to sound helps him capture Ireland’s fragile sonic landscapes. Blending breathtaking nature with a powerful story of loss and hope, Birdsong is a powerful reminder of what we stand to lose if we stop listening. For nature lovers, friends of feather and forest, and all who find beauty in the wild.
