Barra visits Carrowhoney pet farm outside Lisnaskea, which is in the process of turning into a sanctuary that rescues exotic animals. Veronica takes Barra to meet some emus, rhea and raccoons and gets him to help her give the kune kune pig a good old scrub.

After drying off, Barra visits Sophie Durand and Josh Boyd, a young couple documenting their life on a narrowboat. Barra gets a tour of their cosy quarters and hears how they haven’t looked back after leaving their life on dry land. Barra then meets Mark Butler, a wildfowler who builds and maintains specialist hides that wading birds can use for nesting. He finds out how the hides protect nests from predation and heads out on the water with Mark to maintain them. Show less
