Nick Penny says he recorded a year of bird sound after a chance encounter with a kingfisher.
By Katy Prickett and Emma BaughA musician and composer who spent a year recording sounds on his daily walk by a river hopes it will inspire others to "pay attention to what we hear".
Nick Penny, 68, recorded wildlife along the River Nene near his home in Oundle, Northamptonshire. Birdsong has inspired his own compositions for decades."We watch screens all the time. It's great to feel the real air and listen to the real sounds," Mr Penny said.
The composer has walked his local stretch of the River Nene for more than four decades and has been recording its sounds for 20 years."The sound of a kingfisher is a very high whistle, almost like a dog whistle. "It takes a bit of learning, but once you do, it helps you see them because you can immediately look out and you might see it flash by on the river."
