Tweet of the Day is a series of fascinating stories about our British birds inspired by their calls and songs.
A new series of Tweet of the Day for Sunday morning revealing personal and fascinating stories from some fresh voices who have been inspired by birds, their calls and encounters.
For actress Shirley Henderson observing and photographing sandpipers in Spain brought her a sense they were enjoying themselves on the beach. However later discovering her handbag had been stolen, including her camera and a picture of her father, any thought of sandpipers brought about a different emotion. Until that is when walking on a local beach in Scotland, she once again was reminded of her father while seeing sandpipers once again.
