New Irish TV Wildlife Programme April

Hi to all IWDG members

We've just received the following schedule from GMTV Productions Ltd.
who made the Wildlife series due to start on RTE 1 TV tomorrow night.
Most series have a marine component, but of particular interest to IWDG
members will be Prog 2 on April 8th which covers the stunning basking
shark activity IWDG reported on along the Irish South coast in June
2007. This footage was taken from IWDG member Colin Barnes' whale
watching boat the MV Holly Jo, in West Cork inshore waters. If the
previews are anything to go by, this series should be a great showcase
for Irish wildlife.


To IWDG....
Thanks again for all your help in making 'Living the Wildlife'. Just to
let you know that the programme will be starting on RTE 1 on Tuesday
