Utter bliss!

I love the sound of bird song in the morning, but hate getting up early, so when I found this, I just had to downlaod it. I wasn't disappointed! It is so clear and relaxing, if you close your eyes, you ARE there!

Lucid and Lovely!

Thought-provoking, too...I highly reccommend this audiobook. This unabridged volume of bird-chirping and various nature sounds is a MUST-have for anyone who doesn't like to sleep with the window open.

Distilled Nature

I love this. It will remain on my MP3 for my morning alarm call and evening exersise. A little too much cuckoo in the last track but thats the one I use to get me out of bed!

Spoiler announcement

Spoilt by extremely loud 'Audible hopes you have enjoyed this programme'' at the end. Enough to wake the dead.

Lovely

A very nice noise to have on in the background, especially if you grew up hearing birds but now live in the middle of London and miss them.

I had to give a star for "story" to be able to complete the review. There isn't a story.

Health-giving freshness of Spring and Dawn

I listen to this entire audio book most mornings after listening to the corresponding Blackbird song audiobook. They seem an incomparable way to start the day and to offset the negativity of news bulletins.
