IN SEARCH OF A MEGA TICK (320kbs-m4a/65mb/28mins)
BBC Radio 4 Extra broadcast: 15th February 2025
**** This programme was suggested by Philip Lowden as part of BBC Radio 4 Extra's All Request Weekend ****
There are ordinary bird-watchers and there are 'twitchers'.
Each autumn this strange breed descends on the Isles of Scilly in search of their quarry.
Sue Hicks joined last year's migration and discovered that twitchers have their own language and plumage, and are driven by a compulsive urge to 'tick'.
Producer: Andrew Vivian
Recorded Autumn 1984. First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in 1985.
