Tweet Take 5 : Yellowhammer

An Extended version of Tweet of the Day featuring the Yellowhammer with Steve Backshall, James Henry and Tiffany Francis

A quiet stroll along a country lane in summer is often rewarded by the merry refrain "a little bit bread and no cheese". Most often heard but not seen, the bright yellow male yellowhammer perched just out of view on a hedge brings a magical sound to the British countryside. In this extended version of Tweet of the Day, we hear from wildlife presenter Steve Backshall, author James Henry and from nature writer & illustrator Tiffany Francis.
