A special programme about the birds of Robert Burns.

We hear from Burns writers about the attention to detail he had when featuring birds in his poems.

We learn about the bird which is displayed on the heraldic device Burns had made for his seal - and the controversy surrounding it.

We hear about changes to bird populations over the centuries since Burns' time.

We discuss what could be Burns' favourite bird.

And we visit Ailsa Craig - from where Burns wanted to source three to four stones of bird feathers for his bed.
