Soundscape: The Swallow's Journey

on BBC Radio 4 FM

A five-part weekday series which uses sound recorded on location to follow a swallow's migration from the southern tip of South Africa to a village in Scotland. Written by Stephen Moss and narrated by Bill Paterson. 1: By mid-February the urge to migrate is overwhelming. Leaving behind the hippos and fish eagles of the Limpopo river, the swallow sets out on a hazardous journey that will take almost two months to complete and will require every ounce of her energy and resourcefulness.
