BBC Radio 4 - Tweet of the Day, Snow Bunting

David Attenborough presents the snow bunting.

Tweet of the Day is a series of fascinating stories about our British birds inspired by their calls and songs.
 
David Attenborough presents the snow bunting.  The ornithologist and author, Desmond Nethersole-Thompson, described the snow bunting as 'possibly the most romantic and elusive bird in the British Isles'.   When you disturb a flock of what seem to be brownish birds, they explode into a blizzard of white-winged buntings, calling softly as they swirl around the winter strandline.
