Tweet of the Day: Great Northern Diver

Great Northern Diver

BBC Radio 4 - Tweet of the Day, Great Northern Diver

Chris Packham presents the great northern diver.

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

Chris Packham presents the story of the great northern diver.  The wailing cries of a great northern diver echo around the lakes where they live.  If the bird  sounds  striking, then its appearance is just as dramatic....a dagger bill, sleek submarine–shaped body, it's plumage covered  in  graphic  patterns of black and white stripes, dots and dashes.
