  1. Many of the sounds you can hear are natural - bird singing, wind blowing and leaves rustling.

    You may have also heard man made sounds - trains roaring on the tracks or traffic on the road.

  2. We have many birds that sing in our woodland. You probably heard a few of them, check by playing the recordings below:Do you know any of the birds you heard? If so you can tell someone in the Visitor Centre.

    Collared Dove

    Chaffinch

    Blue Tit

    Robin

  3. Birds sing as a way of talking to each other, either to call a mate, or to warn of threats.
