New nature documentary, “Natures Boldest Thieves” on BBC1 this Sunday, 5:10pm, looking at what makes certain species (and individuals) more prone to interact with humans (and then steal from them). Presented by Lucy Cooke (“Talk to the Animals”), we do an experiment looking at gull boldness and sensory ecology, mixed in with some bits about flight. Was fun to film – a long time ago mind, April 2014. Crazy unseasonal weather (28 degrees C) resulted in me getting quite sunburnt (irresponsible I know). Will be interested to see how/if they’ve toned that down in the post-editing.
