Welcome to episode 6 of The HomeSounds Show!
The HomeSounds project began working with the National Trust in the autumn of 2022 through its Riverlands project and has installed two live-streaming microphones at their Felbrigg and Blickling Estates. Running Alongside these installations are a series of educational activities encouraging people to become more active in their environmental listening. The first of these is working with a small group of young people from Sidestrand School here in North Norfolk.
In these sessions we play listening games, explore on foot, learn about the wildlife of the area, and tune in to their acoustic habitats through listening and audio field recording. This show is the second of two parts in which we visit Felbrigg Hall. In part 1 we listened for recently arriving migrant birds. In particular the Chiff Chaff and Blackcap. For this episode, part 2, we learn about some work taking place at Felbrigg to improve the Scarrowbeck Stream that flows through the estate .
This work intends to create new habitats for wildlife by restoring the streams natural flow. We talk with Ursula from the Norfolk Rivers Trust who explains why and how they are doing this project. We explore the acoustic habitat by dropping hydrophones into newly created ponds and walk along the stream investigating the creatures and plants that populate the water and stream bank.
Welcome home everybody!
