Tolga Aktas on the Wren

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. This episode celebrates the new emerging generation of young naturalists. Conservation biologist, writer and photo journalist Tolga Aktas is particular over one specific bird he always looks for while out birdwatching, the diminutive wren. This Hobbit of a bird seems too small for the explosive song it emits, often deeply hidden within a shrub or crevice. The wren is the favourite bird of Tolga's partner, therefore whenever he sees one it reminds him of her. Producer : Andrew Dawes for BBC Audio in Bristol Studio engineer : Ilse Lademann
