Join nature recordist Izabela DΕ‚uzyk on her travels in Poland's wild places.

Adventures in wild Poland with nature recordist Izabela Dłuzyk. This is a long, deep listen to the sounds of the wetlands and forests of the eastern Polish borderlands. Izabela has been recording since childhood, capturing the voices of birds, animals and plant life. She has very precise listening skills and is able to identify the sound of a specific creature in a large, complex chorus. But she also enjoys the harmonies of the ecosystem, in which flocks of the same or different species harmonise together. 'Nature recording is an adventure,' she says, 'a way of delving into another world.' In this episode we're listening to some of the natural harmonies she’s recorded on her adventures from the amazing sound of running swans to the unearthly vibrations that snipe make with their tail feathers.

Recorded and presented by Izabela DΕ‚uzyk.
Produced by Monica Whitlock
Mixed by Tom Brignell
