Sounds of the countrysideSome of the sounds you can enjoy this coming spring in north Northumberland. Featuring three exclusive stereo audio recordings.
Each lasts 60-90 seconds. They were recorded on Wednesday 6 May 2009 between the hours of 6am and 8am. The photographs were taken at each location at the same time. First is the sound of a burn, second a point on a public footpath between there and Juniper Hill (listen out for the owl at the beginning). Finally a small oak wood on the Hill itself. If you would like to do this walk, see footpath number one. Beautiful beaches in north NorthumberlandFour of the best beaches in north Northumberland.
