Tweet Take 5: Blackbirds
An extended version of Tweet of the Day featuring the blackbird, with Satish Kumar and Chris Packham.
The male blackbird has one of the most instantly recognisable songs in not only the British countryside, but that familiar refrain enriches our gardens and parks with mellifluous music.
For this new episode we bring you some of the finest British avian soundscapes via a fresh look at some of the best loved episodes from the long running Radio 4 series Tweet of the Day. Presented here in a longer form, to allow the birds more airtime and to allow the listener a five minute pause in the daily schedule.
This first episode, of 12, features former monk and environmental activist Satish Kumar and the well known wildlife presenter Chris Packham with their thoughts on the delightful blackbird.
