'An ode to Sharks'
Did you know some Greenland sharks are over four hundred years old. I didn’t but there is that and lots more in this BBC Radio Four programme about sharks by the Irish artist Dorothy Cross who indulges her love for the creatures:
My colleague the Manx Branch Secretary drew my attention to it.
The programme is a mix of interview, poetry and includes material gathered off the far north of Donegal and also in New Ireland in the Pacific. The latter includes shark calling by the Islanders there - very moving.
There is another link here to some of the art work of Dorothy Cross on sharks from an Irish Times article in 2014:

Different and interesting - I thought so.
