麻豆约拍

Sometimes known as the devil bird or the Manxies, the Manx shearwarter is a remarkable bird. A real oceanic flyer, they only come into land under the cover of darkness. Their eerie otherworldly calls emanate from deep burrows on remote islands on the west and north of Britain where they come to breed. These remarkable long range migrants overwinter off the coasts of South America, with one bird over its lifetime having been recorded flying the same distance to the moon and back more than ten times. As we'll hear in this extended version of Tweet of the Day with musician and conservationist Brian Briggs, presenter Miranda Krestovnikoff and sound recordist Gary Moore.
