Megan McCubbin on the Gannet

Tweet of the Day

Available for over a year

A brand 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. A visit to Bass Rock just off the coast of Scotland by zoologist, conservationist and television presenter Megan McCubbin ignited her love of the gannet, one of our largest seabirds. Megan's visit to the chaotic colony also brought a sense of calm and awe from birds perhaps best known for their spectacular dives into the sea while feeding for fish. A BBC Audio production from Bristol Producer : Andrew Dawes Studio Manager : Tim Allen
