David Attenborough presents the mistle thrush.

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 Mistle Thrush.  Mistle thrushes are early singers and you'll often hear one singing from the top of a tall tree in windy winter weather.  Because of this habit, an old name for the thrush is 'storm cock'.

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