Herring gull

The nest at BBC H&W

VIDEO: Seagull v Fox

CCTV footage captures a fox stealing the eggs from a seagull's nest outside BBC H&W. The seagulls mob the fox to try and drive it away.

The CCTV footage was taken at night outside BBC Hereford & Worcester's Hylton Road studios in Worcester.

The seagull had been nesting on the ground at the base of the building.

On the footage you can make out (if you look closely).

The mother seagull fly away from the nest, which is on the right hand side of the screen, near the car, as she first hears the fox.

The fox approaching the nest, but being driven under the car by a diving seagull.

The fox making a dash to grab the two eggs, and making its way from right to left across the screen.
