The Specialist
Hugh Falkus and Niko Tinbergen, who made the award-winning film Signals for Survival about the language of lesser black-backed gulls, have now turned their attention to the oyster-catcher. It is a common bird, yet has a skill unique among birds: it is able to use its bill to open a mussel and extract the flesh. It may sound simple, but the complications of the story are extraordinary and surprising. Narrator HUGH FALKUS
Scientific editor
PROFESSOR NIKO TINBERGEN Presented by CHRISTOPHER PARSONS (Bristol)
