DDTV: The come to Inishowen for the winter every year, from Arctic islands in the north Atlantic and Greenland.
This video offers a glimpse of the spectacular, even in the worst of conditions. In driving rain and almost impossible visibility, some 700 Barnacle Geese were captured on film, with the music of Mary Black to match the scenes of rugged landscape and incredible migrant birds, after their extraordinary journey to these shores.
Filmed by Lindsay Hodges Directed and made possible by Christine Cassidy , it was a day where the song’s line “I stood by your Atlantic sea and I sang a song for Ireland” has never been more moving or more spine-tingling.
