Tweet Take 5 : Snipe
An extended version of Tweet of the Day featuring the snipe with Jane Smith, Kate Humble and Carry Akroyd.
If you are luckily enough to see this secretive wader, the snipe possesses one of the longest bill of any British bird. It also produces one of the most striking sounds in a wetland landscape, a repetitive drone known as drumming, produced not from it's call but adapted tail feathers, as we'll hear in this extended edition of Tweet of the Day featuring wildlife artist Jane Smith, presenter Kate Humble and the illustrator of the Tweet of the Day book, Carry Akroyd.
The producer for Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Audio in Bristol is Andrew Dawes.
