Horatio Clare on the Herring Gull
Tweet of the Day is a series of fascinating stories about birds inspired by their calls, songs and behaviour.
Writer Horatio Clare describes why he finds the herring gull to be a fascinating and surprising bird, from their use of vomit in courtship, to how to deter them from stealing your chips.
Produced by Sophie Anton for BBC Audio Production in Bristol.
This programme features audio from Xeno-Canto by Jack Berteau and Irish Wildlife Sounds (European Herring Gull - XC717834 and XC741653).
