Jo Wimpenny on the Moorhen
Tweet of the Day is a series of fascinating stories about birds inspired by their calls, songs and behaviour.
Standing on a lake edge and eager to spot some wildlife, zoologist and author Jo Wimpenny is disappointed to just find a moorhen. But then she stops herself - why does no one get excited about seeing these birds? From climbing trees to promiscuity and egg dumping, Jo finds out there is far more to moorhen life than its humble status suggests.
Presented by Jo Wimpenny and produced by Sophie Anton for 蜜芽传媒 Audio in Bristol
This programme features recordings from Xeno-Canto by Simon Elliott (Common Moorhen - XC572582 and XC572900)
