The Seal Whisperer by Michael Cullen. Sunday Miscellany @RTERadio1 on Sunday 4th May. Listen back https://www.rte.ie/radio/radio1/clips/22510203/

The story is about the seal community that inhabits the coastline from Scotsman’s Bay, the Forty Foot and down towards Bulloch harbour. Local swimmer Mark Leslie of Castle Leslie fame knows the seals and their characteristics. He swims with them and even has names for them.
