Hannah Stitfall on the Long-tailed Tit

Tweet of the Day is a series of fascinating stories about birds inspired by their calls, songs and behaviour.

Every Spring wildlife filmmaker Hannah Stitfall heads out to look for long-tailed tits. She hopes to film them building their nests - intricate, domed structures built out of moss, feathers and spider silk. Unlike many other small birds, the long-tailed tit is capable of cooperative breeding, and will help relatives raise their chicks if their own don't survive. For Hannah the long-tailed tit is one of the quiet wonders of the countryside, and a reminder that even the smallest creatures live fascinating lives.

Produced by Sophie Anton for 麻豆社 Audio in Bristol.
