Meadow Pipit (Spring)

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. Kate Humble presents the meadow pipit. No-one would give the meadow pipit any prizes in a beauty competition but this small streaky bird has its own charm, as it bustles through the turf with a jerky motion. If you're hiking across the moor it will rise ahead of you, dither in mid-air and then dart off, buffeted by the spring breeze.
