Sound Escape 273. Hear the magic of willow warblers and chaffinches on the Isle of Purbeck
About this episode
The episode features the sounds of willow warblers and chaffinches on the Isle of Purbeck during a mid-spring morning.
A mid-spring morning on the heath. Showers scud through on a brisk breeze, chased by the sun and a steady trickle of southerly arrivals. Among the grey peel of silver birch, a willow warbler and a chaffinch sing their steady descent. A wistful melancholy as the gorse begins to glow.BBC Countryfile Magazine's Sound Escapes are a weekly audio postcard from the countryside to help you relax and transport you somewhere beautiful, wherever you happen to be.
