A little bird told me
By Robert Coleman

This soundwalk in Belfast’s Botanic Gardens explores how listening and recording can
facilitate a deeper understanding of the non-human lives around us, particularly the birds.

[School of Wild Listening @wildlistening]

It was produced after a period of over 2 years study of the soundscape at the gardens as well as several related sites around Ireland and combined contemporary
eco-acoustic and field recording practices with traditional knowledge on biodiversity.
