Tweet of the Day: Tweet Take 5 : Kestrel

Tweet Take 5 : Kestrel

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

The kestrel features in this extended version of Tweet of the Day.

The kestrel can be found in urban and rural areas of Britain as we hear in this extended version of Tweet of the Day featuring Steve Backshall, David Lindo and Liane Holdsworth.

The name wind hover is the perfect alternative name for the kestrel. For most people the sight of a kestrel is of a motionless bird of prey hovering patiently over a motorway verge or field searching for its prey. The kestrel can be found in urban areas as well as very rural areas of our countryside as we can hear in this extended version of Tweet of the Day featuring presenter Steve Backshall, Urban Birder David Lindo and the RSPB's Liane Holdsworth.
