Birdwatcher John Weaving on his boat

Image of birdwatcher John Weaving on his boat with his 2 dogs which featured as part of an article on the River Shannon in the National Geographic Magazine in November 1978. John Weaving was a former banker who lived out his retirment on the Shannon and was quite well-known in the area. A painting of the photograph was later used in an episode of the American hit series 'The Sopranos'. Sadly John Weaving passed away in 1987 before the episode was released.
