Wildlife photography challenge series for well-known Irish personalities

For the fourth series of Wild Trials the series takes a more exciting and adventurous twist and goes back in time to look at some of the extraordinary animals that once roamed the Irish countryside. With little or no photographic experience, all have one week in some of the wildest areas of the world to track down and photograph some of our most spectacular and endangered wildlife. This years series sees Pat Spillane rambling the remote woodlands of Romania in search of the Brown bear, Des Cahill caving in Cork and camping in Kenya to find the Spotted Hyena, Lucy Kennedy setting sail to capture a shot of one of the world's rarest whales, Brian Kennedy travelling the fjords of Norway to photograph the majestic White-Tailed eagle and Mary McEvoy leaving the stage on the trail of the elusive and aggressive Wild Boar. The winner heads to South Africa to swim with Great White Sharks.
