BBC Radio 4 - Tweet of the Day, Bearded Tit

Wildlife sound recordist Chris Watson presents the bearded tit.

Tweet of the Day is a series of fascinating stories about the British birds inspired by their calls and songs.
 
Wildlife Sound Recordist, Chris Watson, presents the Bearded Tit. Bearded Tit live in reed-beds, eat mainly reed-seeds in winter and build their nests using reed leaves and flower-heads. The males do have a flamboyant black moustache which would be the envy of any Chinese mandarin.

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