SeriesSounds of Wild Poland

Thrush Nightingales

The Essay

Available for over a year

The sounds of wild Poland with nature recordist Izabela Dłuzyk is a long, immersive listen to the sounds of the wetlands and forests of the eastern Polish borderlands. Izabela has acute hearing and has taught herself to listen closely not just to individual species but to the natural world as a whole landscape, with all its complex interactions and relationships. One of Izabela's favourite birds is the Thrush Nightingale. It breeds all over Eastern Europe, especially in wetlands, but is hardly ever seen in the UK. Recorded and presented by Izabela Dłuzyk. Produced by Monica Whitlock Mixed by Tom Brignell
