BBC Radio 4 - Tweet of the Day, Tweet Take 5 : Blue Tit

An extended version of Tweet of the Day featuring the blue tit.

An extended version of Tweet of the Day featuring the  blue tit with Ed Bryne, Chris Packham and Alasdair Grubb.

As one of our most familiar garden birds, the gregarious and diminutive blue tit holds a special place in many peoples hearts.  Either from its jaunty song or its more nefarious activities of pecking holes in milk bottle tops to gain access to the cream, blue tits bring a flash of delight to our bird feeders and nest boxes close to home. In this extended edition of Tweet of the Day we'll hear from comedian Ed Byrne,  wildlife presenter Chris Packham and remote camera operator and ecologist Alasdair Grubb.

Produced by Andrew Dawes for BBC Audio in Bristol.

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