Nature Boy: A Journey of Birdsong & Belonging with Seán Ronayne

May, 11 Sunday 02:00PM - 03:00PM

Cove Hill, Port Road, Letterkenny, Co. Donegal, Ireland. F92 C8HD

Sound! Soundtrack Festival 2025

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. 

In this sound-packed, illustrative talk, 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. At once inspiring and cautionary, Seán’s journey illustrates the beauty and importance of sound, and what listening can tell us about the state of our natural world, and how it can also heal and nourish the soul.
