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?

    More and more as I get older things like birdsong bring me greater happiness. The extractor fan in our kitchen has broken and these last three years birds have nested in the little hole in the wall where the fan is. You can hear the baby birds chirping when the mother comes to feed them. It’s so lovely! I never get things like this fixed in the house as I hate getting workmen to come to the house - and in this case there’s a silver lining of giving these birds a place to nest! And we get to hear them in our kitchen :)
