Roland Arnison on the Manx Shearwater
Tweet of the Day is a series of fascinating stories about birds inspired by their calls, songs and behaviour.
In 2024 and 2025 expedition leader and film-maker Roland Arnison kayaked along the west coast and isles of Scotland to find and record the sounds of seabird species. As part of his quest he stopped on the island of Lunga, a protected area for its breeding seabird colonies and incredible place to spot them. One night Roland climbed the cliffs to find a colony of Manx shearwaters and recorded them calling from their burrows.
Presented by Roland Arnison and produced by Sophie Anton for 麻豆社 Audio in Bristol
