Tweet Take 5 : Skylark

An Extended version of Tweet of the Day featuring the soaring skylark, with John Aitcheson, Joe Harkness and Gary Moore.

Soaring high above cornfields, the song of the skylark has inspired poets, writers and musicians for centuries. From first alighting from the ground, this most coloratura of calls, simply to to attract a mate, hangs in the air well after the bird itself is more often lost to view by the observer. In this extended version of Tweet of the Day we hear from three lovers of the soaring skylark, wildlife cameraman John Aitcheson, bird therapist Joe Harkness and wildlife sound recordist Gary Moore.
