Ep 1 The Essay, A Birdsong Garden - The Great Chorus
On this episode of The Essay from BBC Sounds, it’s springtime in the Vale of Whittingham and we’re up early to admire the awakening of nature as the sun rises. But which birds will be present for this year’s dawn chorus - will there be redstarts, blackcaps and garden warblers? This five-part series, ‘A Birdsong Garden’ is a mix of memoir, natural history, folklore, birdsong and spacious soundscapes. Geoff takes us through the four seasons of the year, considering how living close to and listening intently to nature can enrich our lives.
