On Wednesday, August 2 at 8:00 pm, explore the magnificent wildlife and landscape of the Atlantic shores, islands, and waters of Ireland in Ireland's Wild Coast. Hosted by wildlife cameraman Colin Stafford-Johnson, the two-hour special reveals a natural environment much more diverse and untamed than you would expect. Stafford-Johnson visits the Blasket Islands, where thousands of grey seals bask in the sun on the beach; rows alongside humpback whales and basking sharks, the second largest fish in the world; and follows the birds, lizards, and creatures that populate the cliffs and ruins slightly more inland. Catch a glimpse of what awaits with some unbelievable photography from the show.
