BBC Radio 4 - Tweet of the Day, Stock Dove

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

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

Kate Humble presents the stock dove. Perhaps 'stock pigeon' would be a better name, because they're like slightly smaller versions of the woodpigeon. Unlike their bigger relatives they have no white marks on their wings or neck and are more blue-grey in colour. When they fly, they look dumpier ...stockier you might say. Unlike woodpigeons, stock doves haven't taken to a life in town and they're mainly birds of wooded farmland.

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