Bird Brain Of Britain

Russell Davies welcomes a panel of celebrity experts and bird lovers to a one-off quiz special from The Wildfowl & Wetland Trust's Slimbridge wetland centre in Gloucestershire. With interest in birds and awareness of the risks to their lives and habitats on the increase in recent years, we're celebrating their role in our life and culture. Birds have fascinated artists, musicians and writers throughout history, and we'll find out how many famous bird references our experts can recognise - as well as how much they know about the bird life around us.

Taking part are

Fyfe Dangerfield, musician

Kate Humble, writer and broadcaster

Lucy Lapwing, naturalist and campaigner

Kitty Macfarlane, singer and songwriter

There are sure to be plenty of surprises, fascinating facts and familiar voices - and the winner will be able to preen themselves at being named BBC Bird Brain of Britain.

Producers: Stephen Garner and Paul Bajoria
