A new BBC NI series airing this month is set to explore the wilder side of life in Belfast.
The Chronicles of Belfast offers new perspectives on a city that people may think they know well - but do they really?
The documentary series celebrates the spots that form the ‘lungs of this busy city’ where people and wildlife can breathe and thrive.

Narrated by acclaimed Northern Irish actor Colin Morgan, the four-part show will look at the people who work all year round with nature, protecting and monitoring the wildlife that share their city.
The Chronicles of Belfast will show an unfamiliar and vibrant Belfast, revealing secret, special wild corners of North, South, East and West Belfast that are bursting with diversity and untold stories of people and wildlife.
It is the fifth instalment in the critically acclaimed 'Chronicles' series by Waddell Media, which has included 'The Chronicles of Mourne' 'The Chronicles of Erne', 'Chronicles of the Glens' and 'The Chronicles of Strangford'.
The show is "beautifully shot" using a variety of techniques including drones and time-lapse photography, which bring familiar landscapes and secret corners of the city to life in a spectacular fashion.
The landscape and weather are as much a part of the programme as the people who feature and their relationship with nature that exists alongside the urban environment.
The series highlights the importance placed on sustainability and wildlife conservation and the work that goes into protecting and promoting diverse natural corners for future generations.
