Paul Farley on the Redwing

Tweet of the Day

Available for over a year

Poet Paul Farley muses on the autumnal arrival of redwings, small thrushes that migrate here from continental and northern Europe to spend the winter. Paul watches a flock of redwings feast on a rowan tree laden with berries, and listens out for their high-pitched nocturnal call as they move under the cover of darkness. Presented by Paul Farley and produced by Sophie Anton for BBC Audio in Bristol. This programme features a recording from Xeno-canto by Mats Rellmar (Redwing - XC711115)
