Corn Bunting
Steve Backshall presents the story and sound of the corn bunting.
Tweet of the Day is a series of fascinating stories about our British birds inspired by their calls and songs.
Steve Backshall begins May with the corn bunting. Corn buntings may be plain-looking birds which sing their scratchy songs from cornfields, but their private lives are a colourful affair and a single male bird may have up to 18 partners.
