Barra begins his journey in Gortin Glen Forest Park, home to a wild population of sika, a small deer that was brought into Ireland from Japan. Traveling on to Clogher Valley, he meets alpaca farmers Roger and Elaine who tend to over 100 of this species native to South America.

As he helps Kevin complete his latest work using only a power-hose, Barra hears how Kevin loves to incorporate native animal species into his work. In Boho in Fermanagh, he meets Mary Polizzi, who rescues and rehabilitates wild animals from across Northern Ireland.
Barra finishes by heading deep into Cladagh Glen, where bat lovers Karen Healy and Catherine Reilly from the Northern Ireland Bat Group take him to find some of our native bat species.
