Lindsey Chapman Tweet of the Day Takeover, 1 of 2

With a lifelong passion for the natural world, actor, television and radio presenter Lindsey Chapman begins her two-week takeover of the Tweet of the Day airwaves.

With a life long passion for the natural world, actor, television and radio presenter Lindsey Chapman begins her two week take over of the Tweet of the Day airwaves. As a Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Unsprung presenter before choosing some of her favourite birds from the extensive back catalogue, Lindsey recalls how she is absolutely fascinated by the symbiotic relationship between the natural world and our own cultural and artistic heritage. Birds are a constant reminder of how these two worlds overlap, from the musicality of the dawn chorus to the brushstrokes of a swift wheeling by on the wind.

Lindsey introduces the first five species she has chosen for the listener this week, from alpine swift to icterine warbler, here on Radio 4, from Monday through to Friday at 05.58.

You can hear more thoughts on Lindsey's passion for wildlife, including her love of gannets in the Tweet of the Week omnibus podcast, which can be found on the Radio 4 website, or can be found on the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ iplayer Radio App by searching search for Tweet of the Week.
