British Library Sound Archive - At The Water's Edge
London, 13.12.18
Selection and mix by Cheryl Tipp. Spend 60 minutes at the water’s edge with this selection of wildlife and environmental field recordings from the British Library Sound Archive. From wallowing hippos in a Zambian river to seabirds sheltering in a Shetland cove, this mix focuses on animals that make their homes alongside bodies of water. Many thanks go to all the recordists who gave permission for their recordings to be shared.
