Tweet Take 5: Wren

An extended version of Tweet of the Day featuring the wren with John Aitcheson, Bill Oddie and Joe Acheson.

The diminutive wren has a song which belies its size. Piercing through the landscape this bold audible proclamation is an often constant accompaniment to many a garden or whilst out a woodland walk. Although there is only one species of wren in Britain, on the isolated island of St Kilda off the Scottish coast can be found a distinctly different wren, evolved over centuries to cope with this isolated archipelago. In this extended version of Tweet of the Day we celebrate the wren, with wildlife cameraman John Aitcheson, comedian and birdwatcher Bill Oddie and composer and producer Joe Acheson.

Produced by Andrew Dawes for 大象传媒 Audio in Bristol
