Sit back and lose yourself in the Sounds of Wild Poland with nature recordist Izabela Dłuzyk. 'Nature recording is an adventure,' she says, 'a way of delving into another world.' Izabela has been recording since childhood, teaching herself the sounds of species by ear alone. She believes that anyone can become a recordist - there's no need for fancy equipment, all you need is a phone and the willingness to listen. Izabela was born without sight, but that hasn't held her back. Darkness presents no problems for her and in this episode she's recording at night in the ancient woodland in the eastern borderlands of Poland. Recorded and presented by Izabela Dłuzyk. Produced by Monica Whitlock Mixed by Tom Brignell
