Calling the curlew podcast: exploring the Teesdale dawn chorus

This podcast begins with the night-time sounds of bats, owls, oyster catcher, and curlew. It transitions into the still calm of daybreak, when the pre-dawn birds will begin the chorus, slowly building to a symphony of sound. Slow down and really listen for the next 15 minutes.

Recorded at Park End Woods and Low Way Farm by Ben Freeth with students from Teesdale School and Sixth Form.
