Helen Moncrieff on the Fulmar
Helen Moncrieff of RSPB Scotland finds an ally in a territorial fulmar.
Fulmars defend their nests by launching their stomach contents at an intruder. Now this may not seem like an appealing behaviour but as Helen Moncrieff, Shetland Manager with RSPB Scotland describes, it was a tactic she used to her advantage as a child and has felt protective of these cliff-nesting birds ever since.
