Nature and walking

pinkchocoholic

Anyone else like listening to nature whilst walking? 

There's an orchard where I live and I take the dog down there - nice and calm and peaceful, only sounds are nature and birdsongs

  • Me, I love it too, one walk I go on I listen to sky larks, others it's water birds or normal garden and forest birds.

    I like it in my garden when the neighbours aren't being noisy when all I can hear are birds and the humming of insects, I've been watched by a hoverfly and sometimes they come right up and eyeball me, to see if I'm a threat to their territory.

    We have a lot of skylarks in the fields near us too - it’s such a wonderful sound isn’t it?! I also love the sound of blackbirds in the evening, and wood pigeons. So soothing. I love the sound of tawny owls too but sadly over the last year we don’t seem to have these much locally at the moment. I really miss them.

    We have a couple of blackbirds in the garden and they sing beautifully every evening. Sky larks are fantastic, I love hearing the mew of buzzards calling too.

    I think we may have a lot of eggs and hopefuly chicks this year, I found a blackbird eating my chickens "layers pellets", I wonder if they know they're good for them?
