Sandpiper: Tx: 25/June/2013, 大象传媒 Radio 4
Tweet of the Day is a series of fascinating stories about our British birds inspired by their calls and songs. Miranda Krestovnikoff presents the Common Sandpiper. This bird can look slightly pot-bellied as it bobs nervously on the edge of an upland lake or on a midstream boulder. Get too close though and it will be off - flickering low over the surface on bowed wings.
