Narrated by Barry Paine
Once a shooting reserve, now a rich wildlife preserve, Long Point on the north shore of Lake Erie is a testimony to the resilience of nature and benefits of the sport of wild fowling.
In protecting their shooting, past wildfowlers also conserved the wildlife of Long Point so that now it rings in spring to the music of songbirds and twice a year to the clamour of migrating wildfowl. It is also a permanent home to rails and racoons, toads and turtles.

1884-1945
The story goes that the famous Irish tenor John McCormack asked Caruso 'and how is the world's greatest tenor?', to which Caruso replied, 'since when have you become a baritone?'
John McCormack was born 100 years ago this week and achieved world fame as a tenor when he was still a young man. He made his debut at Covent Garden at the age of 23 and his first appearance in America two years later. Not long after that he abandoned opera for the concert platform to become the greatest recitalist of the age.
Tonight's portrait of McCormack includes contributions from
Christabel Bielenberg , Liam Breen Bing Crosby , Peter Dolan
