Tolga Aktas on the Wren
While out birdwatching, conservation biologist Tolga Aktas always looks out for the wren, as it is his partner's favourite bird.
A new series of Tweet of the Day for Sunday morning revealing personal and fascinating stories from some fresh voices who have been inspired by birds, their calls and encounters. This episode celebrates the new emerging generation of young naturalists.
Conservation biologist, writer and photo journalist Tolga Aktas is particular over one specific bird he always looks for while out birdwatching, the diminutive wren. This Hobbit of a bird seems too small for the explosive song it emits, often deeply hidden within a shrub or crevice. The wren is the favourite bird of Tolga's partner, therefore whenever he sees one it reminds him of her.
