I read comment about how relaxing this podcast is, I agree. I am a birder and I love this podcast. Thanks
I am a very beginner birder, so I thought this podcast could help me learn bird songs. I think the audio is very clear! I’m really enjoying this and I was amazed at how relaxing these episodes are! Even if you don’t bird, you could listen to bring a moment of calm into your life.
