Tweet of the Week - Melissa Harrison

Nature writer Melissa Harrison is the author behind At Hawthorn Time, Clay and Rain: Four Walks In English Weather. She introduces five stories of birds told by the team at RSPB Dearne Valley - Old Moor in Barnsley.

We hear from Steve Vickers who describes the gossiping eider ducks he loves in the North East, Liane Holdsworth in praise of the kestrel, Heather Bennett who loves the laser-like 'pee-wit' sound of the first bird she identified for herself, Danielle Meyer remember seeing gannets on a blustery day on the Yorkshire east coast and Matthew Capper lends his booming voice in an emotional recollection of seeing the bittern when he was 19, having never seen them as a child.
