Florence Wilkinson Tweet Takeover Week 2

BBC Radio 4 - Tweet of the Day, Florence Wilkinson Tweet Takeover Week 2

Florence Wilkinson, co-founder of bird song recognition app Warblr, enjoys the early bird.

Writer, film-maker and co-founder of bird song recognition app Warblr Florence Wilkinson is inspired by the brown thrasher and an early morning visit to her local wetland reserve.

For writer, filmmaker and co-founder of the bird song recognition app Warblr Florence Wilkinson, the brown thrasher, as the state bird of Georgia in the United States, is a apt choice as she recalls how her citizen science inspired project is being used to help schoolchildren recognise birdsong in North America and elsewhere. 

You can here more from Florence and her work in the accompanying Tweet of the Week podcast, via the Radio 4 website.

Producer : Sarah Addezio.

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