Tweet of the Day

BBC Radio 4 has been running an excellent series called Tweet of the Day since 6 May 13.  Each 2 minute programme, broadcast at 0558 hrs every weekday, starts with a birdsong or call followed by a short talk about the bird by a well-known presenter/sound recordist.

Not a Radio 4 listener?  Too early in the morning for you? 

Never mind!  With the assistance of modern technology you can still catch up with this first-rate series by listening to the episodes at your leisure either using the BBC's iPlayer or downloading the podcasts to your preferred device.
