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

An extended version of Tweet of the Day featuring the whitethroat.

An extended version of Tweet of the Day featuring the whitethroat with Kate Humble, Tony Juniper, and Jane Smith.

The whitethroat is a summer visitor to the British Isles, and its rather scratchy song is a common accompaniment to the countryside from mid April.  Often more heard than seen these small birds played an important role in understanding bird migration as we'll hear in this extended version of Tweet of the Day featuring  Kate Humble, environmentalist Tony Juniper, and wildlife artist Jane Smith.
