We’ll explore how and why birds sing, what their calls reveal about survival and communication, and how sound travels through the still air of daybreak. Along the way, host Sean Bean is joined by singer and actor Will Young, who reflects on rediscovering his love of birds, and sound artist Alice Boyd on finding inspiration in listening closely to the natural world. Plus! Dr Mya-Rose Craig answers your birding questions, and Jenny Shelton from the Wildlife Trusts shares how changing landscapes are reshaping the soundscape of Britain - and what that means for the future of birdsong. Produced by Hana Walker-Brown. Executive Producer is Jane Gerber. This is a Get Birding Production.
