Great Spotted Woodpecker

BBC Radio 4 - Tweet of the Day, Great Spotted Woodpecker

Chris Packham presents the great spotted woodpecker.

Tweet of the Day is a series of fascinating stories about our British birds inspired by their calls and songs.

Chris Packham presents the great spotted woodpecker. In late winter and early spring, brightly-coloured head-bangers are livening up the woods.  The handsome Great Spotted Woodpecker really knows how to grab our attention.  They don't sing but instead advertise their territories by drumming loudly on the branch or trunk of a tree.

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