You miss the soft Northern voice, (yes, there are such), the slow delivery, the warm appreciation of all creatures and plants, the insignificant flower on the forest floor, the little bird with the big name as he said, troglodytes troglodytes, the wren. Olly Mc Gilloway on UTV, didn't force his opinions down other people's throats. For example, in one recent replay of his series, he was in full flow, praising the Atlantic salmon, as he called it, its strength, its gracefulness, its courage: setting out as a small, maybe six inch, smolt to cross the Atlantic, and then, a developed fish, making for home, with just one idea - to reproduce and start the cycle again. And these smolts might be just, perhaps, two per cent of the five thousand eggs that the parents had spawned and fertilised. He didn't have to go on for long. It was written on his face and enriched his quiet voice - the Atlantic salmon, he said, is a wonder, not just meat. Then he stood by while a salmon farmer, on the raft or construction, told of his mission. It was to produce high quality protein for human consumption. He said they had ninety per cent reproduction instead of the tiny per cent of survivors in the wild. Olly stood at the side of the picture and said nothing and looked nothing. It was farming, after all, the other man had said. We are in the early days of that story in Ireland. So far it has raised controversy over the depredations of sea lice, encouraged, it is said, by the presence in the wrong places, of these sea farms. To some extent, the jury is still out on that. Fish farming has given high quality protein, as the man said, at times when the wild fish is not available. And cheaper. What we don't know is something like the things we didn't know when we went into intensive chicken rearing and intensive cattle farming. Olly didn't come in there, and the other man had his fair say. But it is possible that, as farmed salmon and trout escape and breed with the wild fish, there may be repercussions. Also in this programme Olly saw virtue in the scrappy sea buckthorn - and looked with some pleasure at rabbits grazing. He helped us to see with his uncomplicated enjoyment of so many things in the natural world. Hope UTV goes on running him.
