Sounds of the Earth: May

A montage of music and natural sounds from a canal in The Camargue, an oasis in Oman, a journey along the South Tyne in Northumbria, and the Parana River in Argentina.

A montage of music and natural sounds from a canal in The Camargue where nightingales and swifts greet the morning and from an oasis in Oman where cinnamon-breasted rock buntings are singing happily near a gentle waterfall. We also take a journey along the South Tyne in Northumbria, and as the water bubbles away you can hear the calls of crossbills, meadow pipits and a goshawk. Finally, there’s a dawn chorus and a dramatic thunderstorm on the Parana River in northern Argentina, close to the borders of Brazil and Paraguay.
