Take Me to Your Happy Place

Winterwatch's Gillian Burke chooses music and natural sounds that encourage her own personal wellbeing, including lapping waves, doves and crickets from her childhood in Kenya.

Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ TV's Winterwatch presenter - natural historian Gillian Burke - chooses music and natural sounds from the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Sound Effects Library that encourage her own personal wellbeing.

This soundscape includes gentle lapping of waves, the sound of wind rustling the leaves of ash trees in a wood, and the calls of doves and nocturnal crickets, which remind her of her childhood in Kenya.

There's also music by William Grant Still, Gustav Holst, Bill Evans, Aretha Franklin, Matthew Halsall and the Rev Milton Brunson.
