BBC Radio 4 - Tweet of the Day, Melodious Warbler

Brett Westwood presents the melodious warbler.

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


Brett Westwood presents the melodious warbler.  A lemon-yellow warbler singing on a sunny Spanish hillside will be the well-named Melodious Warbler. They are slightly smaller than blackcaps, moss-green above and pale yellow below. You may occasionally see them in the UK in late summer or autumn. The song is melodious and the bird often includes nasal chattering phrases that sound like house sparrows.
