Sir Michael Palin on the Oystercatcher
Sir Michael Palin presents the well attired though noisy oystercatcher.
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.
A walk along a shoreline often brings with it the sound of the oystercatcher. These vocal waders, neatly attired in their black and white plumage, complete with red accents, more often than not notice you before you see them. Though it is their bill which is remarkable as Sir Michael Palin reveals in this episode.
