Tweet Take 5 : Flycatchers

An extended version of Tweet of the Day featuring the pied and spotted flycatcher with Sir David Attenborough, Steve Backshall and Penny Anderson.

Two charismatic species of flycatcher enrich the summer landscape after their arrival from Africa. The pied flycatcher is a sprightly bird of open oak woodlands in the west and north. It's relative the spotted flycatcher is more at home nearer human habitation as we'll hear in this extended version of Tweet of the Day featuring Sir David Attenborough on the pied flycatcher, with Steve Backshall and ecologist Penny Anderson on the spotted flycatcher.
