This is a "special" episode, a bit different from the norm. In February 2023 I recorded sounds from my garden in Croydon, UK and decided this would be a good platform to share it. The birdsong is quite beautiful but there are plenty of other sounds in the mix including many that are man-made.  If you can find some quiet time and some decent headphones you will be able to experience a typical suburban UK garden when spring is slowly starting to reveal itself. I hope you enjoy it! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/phil-swallow9/message
