Never underestimate the importance of mud.  The British coastline is internationally known for its mudflats, home in winter to thousands of waders, feeding and roosting in vast numbers, including the knot. In this extended version of Tweet of the Day featuring knot and the sounds of the mudflat we heard from Sir David Attenborough, wildlife presenter Martin Hughes-Games and artist Kathy Hinde.
