BBC Radio 4 - Tweet of the Day, Whooper Swan

Tweet of the Day is a series of fascinating stories about our British birds inspired by their calls and songs.
 
Chris Packham presents the whooper swan.  The elegance and beauty of wild swans has inspired writers and musicians across the centuries – the most familiar perhaps being Tchaikovsky's ballet Swan Lake, which may well have been inspired by the Whooper swan.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
