TWEET OF THE DAY

Wherever we are, there are birds. And wherever there are birds, there is birdsong: whether it's the sighing of migrating redwings on a damp October night, the twitter of swallows fresh in from South Africa in April or the call of the cuckoo in May. Based on BBC Radio 4's beloved year-long series, this book takes you through the lives of peregrines swapping sea-cliffs for skyscrapers, swifts spending almost their entire lives on the wing, ptarmigans thriving in the Highland snow, and bright green parakeets thronging London's parks.
