Tweet Take 5 : Oystercatcher

An extended version of Tweet of the Day featuring the oystercatcher with Michaela Strachan, Michael Morpurgo and Tara Robinson.

The piping call of the oystercatcher is a familiar sound while walking along a rocky shore. Their piercing alarm call is often heard as they fly away from you into the distance, yet this black and white bird holds many fond memories of days beachcombing surrounded by their calls. In this extended version of Tweet of the Day, we hear from wildlife presenter Michaela Strachan, author Michael Morpurgo and from theatre maker and poet Tara Robinson.
