Sheringham Park - Woodpeckers

Welcome Home Everybody!The HomeSounds project began working with the National Trust in the autumn of 2022 through its Riverlands project and has installed two live-streaming microphones at their Felbrigg and Blickling Estates. Running Alongside these installations are a series of educational activities encouraging people to become more active in their environmental listening. The first of these is working with a small group of young people from Sidestrand School here in North Norfolk.Towards the end of 2022 we ran a couple of sessions with this group at Sheringham Park, and at Felbrigg and in these we played listening games, explored the estates on foot, learnt about the wildlife and habitats of the area, and started to explore their acoustic habitats through listening and audio field recording. This episode focuses on a trip the group made to Sheringham Park in Norfolk to listen for the unmistakable spring sounds of woodpeckers.LINKSRiverlandsSheringham ParkHomesounds HomeSounds Show Supporters Club
