Three wildlife species under threat in Ireland — the Atlantic salmon, the curlew, and bees — are, fittingly, subjects of the annual autumn series of talks in Killarney National Park, writes Donal Hickey.

Former UCC zoology professor, Tom Cross, who has spent more than a half-century studying the salmon, will give the opening talk this Thursday night (October 4). He has an ample bank of research material from which to draw, not least his own work and his special interest in the interaction between wild salmon and farm escapees.
