The Chip Thief With a Nobel Prize Connection

The herring gull knows when you're watching it. 👁️ It reads human body language, uses bait to lure fish, performs a rain dance to trick earthworms out of the ground, and passes learned behaviours down through generations. It's also lost 50% of its population since the 1970s. The Gulls episode of @BIRDZ is out now — it's not what you think. #BIRDZ #HerringGull #Gulls #BlackHeadedGull #CommonGull #BritishBirds #UKWildlife #BirdwatchingUK #BritishWildlife #NaturePodcast #BirdsOfInstagram #WildlifeUK #BirdNerd #CoastalBirds #SeabirdConservation #NatureLovers #BirdConservation #UKNature #Seabirds #GullsOfInstagram
