Kate Bradbury on the Herring Gull
Tweet of the Day is a series of fascinating stories about our British birds inspired by their calls and songs.
A new series of Tweet of the Day for Sunday morning revealing personal and fascinating stories from some fresh voices who have been inspired by birds, their calls and encounters.
Brighton is famous for many things, but maybe lesser known is that virtually every rooftop seems to provide a nesting site for herring gulls. Sadly, as garden and nature writer Kate Bradbury recalls, herring gull chicks are clumsy, many fall from roofs and need rescuing. Kate does her bit. Converting her shed into a rescue home for three orphaned chicks Kate nurtured them for a few weeks until they were fit enough to be released on Brighton's beach at low tide.
