BBC Radio 4 - Tweet of the Day, Kate Bradbury's Sparrows Takeover

Wildlife gardener and writer Kate Bradbury loves sparrows in this Tweet of the Day.

Wildlife gardener, nature lover and writer Kate Bradbury loves the sparrows that come into her tiny garden in Hove near Brighton.

Kate Bradbury loves the sparrows which come into her tiny garden in Hove near Brighton. As a wildlife gardener she is passionate about organic, wildlife-friendly gardening and has recently documented her love of creating a wildlife oasis in her latest book The Bumblebee Flies Anyway. But for this Tweet of the Day, Kate returns to those noisy chirruping sparrows which provide a calm in the urban jungle.

So we begin Kate's first week curating her favourite episodes from the Tweet of the Day back catalogue. You can hear all five programmes chosen this week, and some thoughts from Kate about her passion for wildlife and gardening in the Tweet of the Week omnibus edition, which is available via the Radio 4 Website.
