Anita Sethi on the Yellow Wagtail

Tweet of the Day

Available for over a year

A small but brightly coloured bird with yellow and green plumage, the yellow wagtail is known for the wagging motion of its tail - as its name suggests. A summer visitor to the UK, the yellow wagtail is found in a range of habitats including wet pastures, upland hay meadows and arable farmland, where it feeds on small insects. Nature writer Anita Sethi tells the story of seeing a yellow wagtail in the Yorkshire Dale and hearing its bright call above the burbling of Hardraw Beck. Presented by Anita Sethi and produced by Jo Peacey. A ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Audio Bristol production.
