Strangford may be best known for seals and birds, but Barra is surprised to discover that it should be equally well known for its bees. He meets beekeeper Valentine from Veesbees and her husband Chris at her Loughshore apiary. Barra dons some beekeeping gear to have a go at collecting some honey from the hive.

Barra joins Gala Podgornik from Ulster Wildlife on a rock pooling adventure on the shores of Portaferry with the National Autistic Society Newtownards. Gala tells the kids what to look out for, from starfish to anemones. Moving on to Castle Espie, Barra discovers that every autumn thousands of Brent geese descend on Strangford Lough after a gruelling 3,000-mile journey from Arctic Canada. Barra helps the team care for an injured goose, before heading out to the hides with Maurice Turley to see the geese on the lough.

Barra starts off at Murlough National Nature Reserve near Dundrum where he meets ranger Barry Crawford. The dunes here are rich in wildlife but it's a group of Exmoor ponies that keep them in top condition by cropping the grass short.

Barra then travels to Castlewellan Forest Park where his fitness is put to the test on an uphill cycle. Then it's on to Greenore, on the shores of Carlingford Lough, to monitor a bottlenose dolphin.

Barra then heads along to Carlingford to meet oyster farmer Kian Louet-Feisser, and to work on the oyster beds. Finally, he goes to the Ring of Gullion where he meets Caóilfíonn Murphy O'Hanlon, an artist passionate about celebrating and protecting our only native goat, the Old Irish.
