Actress Kirsty Oswald presents this omnibus edition of Tweet of the Day, where she comments on how bird watching mirrors an important ingredient of living; "the very nature of looking up invokes curiosity, questioning and wonderment". She also reflects on what she feels is the unjust demonisation of magpies, the development of her own personal language used when self-identifying birds, and how Canada Geese stir up memories of early morning alarm clocks. This omnibus edition contains the following repeated episodes.
