BBC Radio 4 - Tweet of the Day, Woodlark

Tweet of the Day is a series of fascinating stories about our British birds inspired by their calls and songs.
 
Bill Oddie presents the woodlark.  Woodlarks are closely related to skylarks, but they're much rarer in the UK, where they’re mainly confined, as breeding birds, to southern England. Unlike the skylark, the male woodlark will sing from trees but his piece de resistance is the song-flight in which he flies slowly in a broad loop, often very high above his territory.

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