BBC Radio 4 - Tweet of the Day, Bearded Tit

Wildlife sound recordist Chris Watson presents the bearded tit.

Tweet of the Day is a series of fascinating stories about the British birds inspired by their calls and songs.
 
Wildlife Sound Recordist, Chris Watson, presents the Bearded Tit. Bearded Tit live in reed-beds, eat mainly reed-seeds in winter and build their nests using reed leaves and flower-heads. The males do have a flamboyant black moustache which would be the envy of any Chinese mandarin.
