There, the narrator asks viewers to "listen to their gossip", before demonstrating the bird’s flight in slow motion.

Indeed, according to the British Trust for Ornithology, around 300,000 gull’s eggs were sold every year in Leadenhall Market in London during the 1930s, when London Visitors was made.
