Dominic Couzens on the Snow Bunting

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. On a walk up Ben Nevis with his son, ornithologist and nature writer Dominic Couzens heard a familiar cut-glass perfect song in an unfamiliar setting, a snow bunting at the very top of the mountain. Snow buntings are arguably the toughest songbirds on the Planet and so to find one on the slopes of Ben Nevis was a real treat indeed.
