Gillian Burke on the Goldfinch
With their exotic colours, and tinkling song biologist and presenter Gillian Burke loves to hear goldfinches passing overhead.
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.
Growing up in Kenya, biologist and presenter Gillian Burke thought exotic looking birds were only the preserve of the tropics. And then she saw a charm of goldfinch. These noisy, cheeky birds with bright colouration are an exotic burst of activity in the British countryside, accompanied by a trail of bubbling flight calls.
