Thread Name: Folk songs about birdsong...?
Subject: RE: Folk songs about birdsong...?
Hi all, I hope you're keeping well - thanks again for all above suggestions. I just published a 2nd instalment of my #AFolkSongAFortnight singing/writing project, this week, belatedly, on 'The Birds in the Spring'.

Also including:

> The influence of birdsong on human art, culture and language;

> Birds within folk and classical music, and the parallels between song and wildlife sound-collecting;

> The impact of Covid 19 on engagement with both nature + creativity, and the possibility of a resurgence for each.

Furthermore, I was fortunate enough to gather very generously granted quotes from Sam Lee and also Cheryl Tipp, the British Library's wildlife sound curator.
