This lovely book is a perfect introduction to British birdsong, informative and hugely enjoyable, so stop tweeting and learn how to listen to the experts—Chris Packham
I love these quirky, informative and lyrical descriptions. Reading this book makes me want to head out to see and hear the birds for myself—Miranda Krestovnikoff, Presenter of Coast and President of the RSPB
This handsome book [is] perfect for dipping into . . . The beautiful prose and inspired illustrations by Carry Ackroyd make it a volume to treasure—BBC Countryfile
Tweet of the Day: great idea, great title. Why didn't I think of it?—Bill Oddie
[Tweet of the Day] . . . is a pleasure to read. The different, short, accounts of over 200 species are varied in tone and approach but combine to make a lovely book . . . you can dip at any time for a quick moment of bringing birds and their songs into your life. But when you dip you will find yourself reading the next account, and then the next. You may find that opening this book is like opening a packet of chocolate digestive biscuits - you'll be surprised how far through the packet you'll get on one sitting (but it's not fattening - unless you really do eat a biscuit with each species and then it will be!)—Mark Avery
The perfect bird guide for the armchair naturalist—Woman & Home
If you want to improve your ornithological knowledge without the 5:58am wake-up required to catch Tweet of the Day on Radio 4 reach for the show's companion book—Radio Times
Entertaining and often beguiling . . . The lively writing, enlightening anecdotes and frequent bursts of humour make this the ideal source of conversation topics if you run out of things to say while visiting the relatives—BBC Focus Magazine, Books of the Year
