Wetlands are fascinating places both to visit and observe aquatic diving birds such as grebes. In this extended version of Tweet of the Day we hear of three grebe species found in Britain.  The great crested grebe with nature writer Stephen Moss, The black necked-grebe with Sir David Attenborough, and the much rarer Slavionian grebe with cameraman John Aitchison.
