'I was photographing kingfishers and seeing otters and seals but people hadn't a clue that they were there. Hopefully this series will help bolster that and make people a bit more protective of what we have in terms of green spaces.'
A new TV series is set to showcase an unfamiliar and vibrant Belfast, revealing secret, special wild corners of the city that are bursting with diversity and the untold stories of its people and wildlife.
The series also highlights the importance placed on sustainability and wildlife conservation and the work that goes into protecting and promoting our diverse natural corners for future generations. The programme then travels to St James’ Community Farm. The farm provides a real focus to the community, young and old, its animals oblivious to the traffic roaring past on the Westlink. In the harbour, at RSPB NI’s nature reserve, warden Maureen is building a temporary artificial island for nesting terns.
Ronald says: "People don’t realise what they have on their doorstep. Having worked on the River Lagan for 18 years before moving to work with Ulster Wildlife, I was amazed by the amount of wildlife in the city centre that people were just oblivious to. For Rene, who was born and bred off the Newtownards Road in East Belfast, just next to CS Lewis Square, childhood memories are brought to life and for that one hour a week, she feels free again.
