Iolo Williams on the Golden Plover
Tweet of the Day is a series of fascinating stories about our British birds inspired by their calls and songs.
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.
Few bird calls evoke wild, open spaces like that of the golden plover. Springwatch presenter Iolo Williams first encountered these birds was on the Elenydd, the empty heart of Wales in the Cambrian Mountains. That was more than 40 years ago when the Welsh uplands were home to around 300 breeding pairs of golden plover; today, fewer than 40 remain.
