Could the Valentia Walrus Be Heading Home? –September 21st, 2021

The walrus, which has become known as Wally, which was first spotted on Valentia Island earlier this year has been tracked to Iceland - a much more natural location for a creature of the Arctic and subartic seas of the northern hemisphere. Alan Houlihan and his five-year-old daughter Muireann took the now famous picture of the walrus on Valentia back in March. Since then, the animal's journey around parts of Western Europe and Ireland has been tracked. Jerry speaks to Alan and to Pádraig Whooley of the Irish Whale and Dolphin Group.
