ROSIE HOLDSWORTH: Delve into
curious stories from our weird,

2
00:00:08,551 --> 00:00:11,313
wonderful, utterly wild world.

3
00:00:11,313 --> 00:00:13,755
Unearthing the extraordinary
ordinary.

4
00:00:13,755 --> 00:00:16,576
GENERIC: You might sometimes be
able to see herring gulls doing

5
00:00:16,596 --> 00:00:18,278
a little dance.

6
00:00:18,278 --> 00:00:21,260
So they kind of pat their feet
onto the grass and what they're

7
00:00:21,260 --> 00:00:23,781
trying to do is charm the worms.

8
00:00:23,781 --> 00:00:26,183
ROSIE HOLDSWORTH: Marvelling at
the rare and resplendent.

9
00:00:26,183 --> 00:00:29,805
GENERIC: We go round to an
island with the seals. All of a

10
00:00:29,825 --> 00:00:37,173
sudden, something just leaps out
of the water.

11
00:00:37,173 --> 00:00:39,454
ROSIE HOLDSWORTH: And exploring
our unsettling natural

12
00:00:39,494 --> 00:00:40,015
histories.

13
00:00:40,735 --> 00:00:43,096
GENERIC: Animals belonged in
barns. They belonged in fields.

14
00:00:43,116 --> 00:00:45,878
They could not be kept close to
humans because you would be

15
00:00:45,918 --> 00:00:49,079
susceptible to becoming more
beastly yourself.

16
00:00:51,721 --> 00:00:53,982
ROSIE HOLDSWORTH: New from
National Trust Podcasts, I'm

17
00:00:54,022 --> 00:00:57,724
Ranger Rosie Holdsworth, and
this is Wild Tales.
