Errata:
In the above documentary, the swans shown
are in fact mute swans. This is because the Newgrange whooper swans
have not been visiting their usual spot in front of Newgrange for
the past few years and can now be found in a field between Knowth
and Slane during the months of October to March. Also, in the documentary
I fail to mention the precessional significance of Deneb. It only
sets below the horizon for a couple of centuries during the whole
25,800-year precessional cycle. And its "grazing" of the
northern horizon only happens at this latitude. Please excuse these
minor blemishes.
