About this episode

This episode features the soothing sounds of an oak woodland at dusk, highlighted by the melodies of various birds.

Late afternoon meets the first tendrils of dusk and the oakwoods are empty of people. Instead, birdsong fills the half-light beneath the trees: song thrush, great tit, chiffchaff and blackbird weave their spring melodies into an enchantment.
