We visit the Phoenix Park in Dublin to learn about its iconic wild residents. We also hear what happens to these animals when humans just won't leave them the heck alone. Spoiler alert: it's not good.

Ireland has one dedicated wildlife rehabilitation and teaching hospital. It's run by volunteers and is an incredibly demanding, emotional and tireless job, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. They get very little government support and they need help to help our wildlife.

If you have a few quid to spare, please think about supporting them: www.wri.ie

We enter the wilds of the Co. Wicklow countryside on the east coast of Ireland to visit Collie's new home. We find out how to build a very simple pond to attract amphibians, and there's an investigation into a curious duck tale.

Thanks to Geoff McQueen for sharing his duck tales with us. If you want hilarious Twitter content with updates about his garden shenanigans, running adventures, and father-in-law woes, follow him here: @theGeoffMcQ
