Listen "On the edge of the land"

Episode Synopsis

The rising tide, gently lapping at rocks, with the quieter general sound of the sea in the background. The recording contains many bird sounds – both land-based such as blackbirds (Turdus merula) and sea-based such as oystercatchers (Haematopus ostralegus). Recorded at dusk as the birds chorus before nightfall. 

Recorded at Tarskavaig on the Isle of Skye, Scotland by Peter Brooks.
