An extended version of Tweet of the Day celebrating winter thrushes featuring Yolo birder, Chris Packham and Monty Don

Almost as soon as the summer visitors head back to Africa, then the skies above Britain are enlivened by thousands of winter thrushes from Scandinavia and Europe.  The arrival of flocks of redwing and fieldfare  enrich the winter countryside, their calls echoing through the quiet landscape.  In this extended version of Tweet of the Day these winter thrushes provide a story for social media birdwatcher YOLO birder, wildlife presenter Chris Packham and gardener Monty Don.

Produced by Andrew Dawes for BBC Audio in Bristol
