Tweet of the Day: Great Tit

Great Tit

BBC Radio 4 - Tweet of the Day, Great Tit

David Attenborough presents the great tit.

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

David Attenborough presents the story of the Great Tit. That metallic 'tea-cher, tea-cher' song of the great tit is instantly recognisable and you can hear it on mild days from mid-December onwards. It's the origin of the old country name, 'Saw-Sharpener'.
