Adventures in sound with Polish nature recordist Izabela Dłuzyk.

Nature recordist Izabela Dłuzyk goes in search of one of her favourite birds, the Thrush Nightingale, in the Polish wetlands.

The sounds of wild Poland with nature recordist Izabela Dłuzyk is a long, immersive listen to the sounds of the wetlands and forests of the eastern Polish borderlands.  Izabela has acute hearing and has taught herself to listen closely not just to individual species but to the natural world as a whole landscape, with all its complex interactions and relationships.  One of Izabela's favourite birds is the Thrush Nightingale. It breeds all over Eastern Europe, especially in wetlands, but is hardly ever seen in the UK.
