Martin Hughes-Games on the Blackbird

Available for over a year

A new series of Tweet of the Day for Sunday morning revealing personal and fascinating stories from some fresh voices who have been inspired by birds, their calls and encounters. Natural history presenter and author Martin Hughes-Games found himself in Tasmania. As dusk fell a familiar song burst through, the evening call of the blackbird. How these birds far away from home got here, is pure guesswork, but that familiar sound at dusk transported him back home and the familiar evening chorus from blackbirds near his home.
