“Ronayne’s approach is an inspiring one, using the wonder of nature to activate a love for what we have and what we are losing…His public talks often leave audiences moved to tears.” The Irish Times

Nature was Seán Ronayne’s guiding light in dark times. You will leave this sound-packed event and leave inspired by his story of love, connection and the healing power of nature.

Seán Ronayne is an ornithologist, wildlife sound-recordist, writer and activist whose mission is to sound record all regularly occurring bird species in Ireland. Struggling to fit in as a child, escaped to the woods and coastlines around his home in Cork and discovered his true passion – identifying and understanding birds through their sound and song. At the age of thirty-two, Seán received an autism diagnosis and his life finally started to make sense.
