We report from the city of Bristol on the behaviour of Herring Gulls. Herring Gulls, with their characteristic cry typical of the UK seaside soundscape, can become very habituated to people and our habits. There are reports of Herring Gulls stalking, waiting and seizing opportunities to snatch food from picnics on the beach and it's well known in the city of Bristol that Herring Gulls scavenge fast food in the streets. And yet Herring Gulls are in decline, they are now listed in the Red Data Book of threatened species. What is causing the Herring Gull decline in the UK when so much food seems available.

And - all part of living with nature, we report on the status of the Wild Boar in the UK. Can there ever be too many of them?

Our news hound Kelvin Boot will be live on the line with topical news and events.
