Tweet Take 5 : Swallow

The swallow features in this extended version of Tweet of the Day with Kate Humble, Monty Don and Brett Westwood.

As we'll hear in this extended version of Tweet of the Day featuring presenter Kate Humble, Gardener's World presenter Monty Don and presenter and wildlife expert Brett Westwood.
