In Your Nature Ep 45 - Ireland Vs New Zealand Bird-off Part 2
This weeks' episode brings us part-two of the Ireland vs New Zealand Bird-off. Originally broadcast as part of Radio New Zealand’s 'Our Changing World', produced by Co. Kerry native Claire Concannon (now ensconced in NZ), Ricky Whelan has been pitching his wits against New Zealand native and ornithologist Jamie McAulay, in a ferociously competitive and hilarious competition.
With thanks to Radio New Zealand for allowing us to re-broadcast this episode.
