Kestrel

from Tweet of the Day · host BBC Radio 4

Tweet of the Day is a series of fascinating stories about our British birds inspired by their calls and songs.

Their chestnut back and wings, and habit of holding themselves stationary in mid-air, are a unique combination; small wonder that an old name for kestrels is windhover.Produced by Brett Westwood and Sarah Blunt
