Tweet of the Day - Paul Farley on the Redwing
Download Paul Farley on the Redwing
Poet Paul Farley muses on the autumnal arrival of redwings, small thrushes that migrate here from continental and northern Europe to spend the winter. Paul watches a flock of redwings feast on a rowan tree laden with berries, and listens out for their high-pitched nocturnal call as they move under the cover of darkness.
Presented by Paul Farley and produced by Sophie Anton for BBC Audio in Bristol.
This programme features a recording from Xeno-canto by Mats Rellmar (Redwing - XC711115)
