Sound Escape 217. Enjoy the zipping song of a yellowhammer at the bottom of the garden

from The Plodcast · host Our Media

In a peaceful Dorset valley, a garden looks onto wide farmland. As a blackbird sings seductively from the hedgerow, a yellowhammer tests out his rising song of summer joy from somewhere out in the open landscape. BBC Countryfile Magazine's Sound Escapes are a weekly audio postcard from the countryside to help you relax and transport you somewhere beautiful, wherever you happen to be. Recorded by Kevin Parr, introduced by Hannah Tribe.
