Hi To our Wicklow members
Just to let you know that Greystones member, Dinah Boyne has just been watching a basking shark this morning 7th May off the Arch at the South end of the South beach, Greystones. This is just days after Micheal Carney\'s sighting of another single basking shark at Kilcoole beach (opposite the bird sanctuary) on May 2nd.
There have been almost no basking shark records in recent years reported to IWDG from the Wicklow area, so these recent sightings are good news indeed.
We\'d be interested in receiving any records of your observations of this, the planet\'s 2nd largest fish species, that you might make in the Wicklow area.
Thanks as always
