Now, Helena, last year you contacted us because you heard the cuckoo and you sent in a recording.

Yeah, you certainly wouldn't notice climate change at the moment, would you, in terms of the place heating up?

Well, now it's confirmed.

Now, the stranding of the Greenland shark in Finnesclin in County Sligo was widely reported in Irish and international media over the past week.

It was first reported to the Irish Whalen Dolphin Group by Leaving Cert students from Sligo Grammar, Hamid Chowdhury and James Winters O'Donnell.

So, hello and welcome to the programme.

You can visit the website any time you like, rte.ie forward slash Mooney.

Hello, how are you?

So Hamid, first of all, tell us about this shark, how you happened upon it.

And a busy house.

Eileen Elana is here.

Richard Collins is here.

Niall Hatch.

We'll be hearing from Terry Flanagan a little bit later on.

Eileen, you're making an awful lot of noise with that newspaper.

OK, on Saturday.

The article is about the new signature.

James, had you ever seen a shark before?

I don't want to sound totally ridiculous, I mean in the flesh, and had you ever seen a Greenland shark?

Well, thanks very much indeed, Ed.
