270 Soundscene from Northward Hill Nature Reserve featuring a nightingale
19:28 | Episode: 275 | May 26th, 2025
Whilst out along the Kent side of the Thames Estuary on Saturday, aiming to capture the sound of skylarks and reeds, we met a walker with a very friendly border terrier. She told us there was talk of a nightingale not too far away at RSPB’s Northward Hill Nature Reserve. We aren’t strictly speaking wildlife recordists, the Lento box is designed like a wide angle camera to capture panoramic landscape sounds, but we thought it might be worth a visit to the reserve to see if we might be able to find it.
269 Night crickets distant waves – Folkestone Warren (sleep safe)
50:22 | Episode: 274 | May 24th, 2025
At this spot, high up on The Warren, in the dead of night, live the crickets. They’re everywhere. Stridulating, like tiny minute hands etching the moments, of this night’s time passing. Crisp. Unwitnessed. They’re probably dark bush crickets.
268 A wild ocean above ancient tree stumps
34:32 | Episode: 272 | May 15th, 2025
Pett in Sussex. A ‘small peaceful seaside village’. Here you can visit a little timber chapel on the beach with an open door to a kitchen. You can take a seat, absorb the atmosphere, then make yourself a cup of tea if you like, choose a book from the shelves and drop your donation into the honesty box. Before heading out to explore the wild pebble beach, crashing waves and sea defences. All perfect for blowing away the cobwebs. But this is one of those places that makes you think too. Yes there’s the village, the chapel, the wonderfully exposed coast path and beach, but there are other significant things too. Things that make the past resonate.
267 Hidden dell at night (sleep safe)
41:51 | Episode: 271 | May 7th, 2025
This week we’re staying on the uplands of rural Derbyshire to hear a passage of time from the dead of night. We captured it last month, from a location very near to last week’s episode,
266 On upland pastures
52:32 | Episode: 270 | April 29th, 2025
Left of scene, a steep uninhabited valley, shrouded under dense woodland. Right of scene, rough pastures and grass meadows sloping gradually up, towards a distant horizon. Centre, a silvery glimpse of the moorland stream that’s flowed down into this valley for as long as rain began to fall.
265 Low tide on the causeway (sleep safe)
54:12 | Episode: 269 | April 21st, 2025
Last week we visited Burgh Island in Devon on the south west coast of England. We made two overnight recordings, both looking out towards the island from Bigbury-on-Sea. The island is connected to the mainland by a sand causeway. This passage of time is from the second unaccompanied overnight recording, midnight to 1am.
264 Garden rain at night (sleep safe)
40:49 | Episode: 268 | April 13th, 2025
Last summer when we were stuck at home, and when heavy rain was forecast between midnight and three, we decided it’d be nice to capture its sound. The idea is enchanting. Rain, falling, on a little suburban garden, verdant with plants and shrubs of various kinds, as they quietly and invisibly sleep through the night.
263 Wild open coastal reserve
01:04:00 | Episode: 267 | March 29th, 2025
Sat back, looking onto Rye Harbour nature reserve. There, to the ear, is the sea. From here it’s out of sight, somewhere below the long shingle ridge. From this point across the reserve, it could to the ear be an aural sunrise. A wall of natural energy, lighting up the horizon with clean, white, spatialised noise.
