BBC Radio 4 - Tweet of the Day, Meadow Pipit (Spring)

Series of stories about British birds, inspired by their calls and songs. Kate Humble presents the meadow pipit.

Tweet of the Day is a series of fascinating stories about our British birds inspired by their calls and songs. 

Kate Humble presents the meadow pipit. No-one would give the meadow pipit any prizes in a beauty competition but this small streaky bird has its own charm, as it bustles through the turf with a jerky motion. If you're hiking across the moor it will rise ahead of you, dither in mid-air and then dart off, buffeted by the spring breeze.

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