Terry Flanagan

Here's another cyclist coming down here now.

I know it's dark, but it's not that late.

But I'm amazed at them because I always thought of them as being shyer animals.

It's fantastic.

Most people would think that I live in the city of Dublin.

I'll never see a badger.

Yeah.

But here we are tonight and I've seen with you six badgers, four on one side of the river, two on this side of the river.

I've seen them as close as four metres away and they just don't seem scared at all.

Well, Gustav, it's been an absolute privilege being out with you again tonight and seeing this wonderful wildlife.

And I know that you've gotten some lovely shots, which we'll put up on the website as well, and some lovely video as well.

So thanks again for everything.

Thank you very much indeed, Terry and Gustavo.

We begin this bank holiday edition of Mooney Goes Wild with a stroll through a very special walled garden in County Meath.

Walled gardens have a long history in Ireland and Britain.

Originally built on grand estates centuries ago to shelter fruit and vegetables from wind,

frost and prying eyes and to create highly productive self-contained growing spaces this one is in Stamullen in County Meath and reporter Terry Flanagan has been visiting the garden with Ciarán de Butler Ciarán grows his food in close partnership with Wildlife and Nature and has written a book Nature's Acre to encourage others to do the same

Thanks indeed to Ciarán and Terry, and more details can be found on www.rte.ie.

Let's go to Terry Flanagan now at his home in Dublin 15.

Terence, tell us about your report for this week.
