BBC Radio 4 - Tweet of the Day, Sanderling

David Attenborough presents the sanderling.

Tweet of the Day is a series of fascinating stories about our British birds inspired by their calls and songs.
 
David Attenborough presents the sanderling.  Twinkling along the tideline, so fast that their legs are a blur, sanderlings are small waders.  It's the speed with which they dodge incoming waves that catches your attention as they run after the retreating waters and frantically probe the sand.

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