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 been recording since childhood, teaching herself the sounds of species by ear alone, as she was born without sight. She was given her tape recorder at the age of ten and went on long recording walks with her grandfather in her home town of Gdansk on the Baltic coast, capturing the voices of birds, frogs and anything they came across. These early adventures set her on the path to a life-long passion for recording. 'Nature recording is an adventure,' she says 'a way of delving into another world.' In this episode we're listening to the sounds of dawn in the Biebrza marshes and the Bialowieza primeval forest that's half in Poland and half in Belarus.

Adventures in wild Poland with nature recordist Izabela Dłuzyk. This is a long, deep listen to the sounds of the wetlands and forests of the eastern Polish borderlands. Izabela has been recording since childhood, capturing the voices of birds, animals and plant life. She has very precise listening skills and is able to identify the sound of a specific creature in a large, complex chorus. But she also enjoys the harmonies of the ecosystem, in which flocks of the same or different species harmonise together. 'Nature recording is an adventure,' she says, 'a way of delving into another world.' In this episode we're listening to some of the natural harmonies she's recorded on her adventures from the amazing sound of running swans to the unearthly vibrations that snipe make with their tail feathers.

Sit back and listen to the sounds of wild Poland - the wetlands and forests rich with wildlife recorded by Izabela Dłuzyk.

In this episode we're in the Bialowieza primeval forest that's half in the far east of Poland and half in Belarus.

The forest is one of the last stretches of the ancient forest that once spread across the whole European plain. Some of the oak trees there are many centuries old. Numberless generations of birds and animals have lived up in their branches and below in their undergrowth. In this episode we'll hear the sounds of the trees themselves.
