Jackie and Daw
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jackie and Daw was a video/radio documentary documentary by Vincent Hyland that followed a pair of nesting Jackdaws, named Jackie (male) and Daw (female), over a period of two years. The documentary won First Prize at the Prix Europa Radio and TV Awards in October 2000 for the radio version, entitled Nestwatch 2000, broadcast on RTÉ Radio 1's Mooney Goes Wild.[1]
Through the use of concealed cameras, set up by Bryan Deegan, the documentary followed Jackie and Daw raising their young family. In order to produce the program, Vinney Hyland sat at the nest site from 6am to 8pm weekday and 10am to 6pm weekend for 180 days. The work was broadcast on television by UTV and on the internet by wildlifeireland.ie.
