Hello and welcome to Field Notes, It’s the depths of December and the weak winter sun is setting early at around 4pm. 🌥 The garden is slowing growing greyer as the light fades into darkness. 🌒 We’re all wrapped up in our thickest coat, and have come outside to sit under the beech tree. 🌳 The wind is rusting the trees in the valley below until the sound becomes almost a single noise. The branches of the bare trees above creak in the gusts and crisp leaves rustle and twirl along the ground. 🍁 Listen carefully and you’ll hear the squeak of nocturnal creatures making the most of the cover of the night ⭐. I hope you enjoyed this recording, if you did and you would like to hear more recordings in nature then please subscribe.
