Your senses will be firing as you sit back and enjoy inspiring conversations between Kirsty Costa (Weekend Birder podcaster and science educator) Kate Gorringe-Smith (award winning nature artist) and Jane Rusden (beloved local artist and Birdlife Convener).

The quartet celebrates local woodland wildlife by weaving beautiful live art making with evocative musical soundscapes.
