There are gardens and yards in the Netherlands where the early morning hours still sound utterly blissful. The CD opens at the end of August, when nature is at its quietest, and closes in June, when animal and plant life around the house often outdoes that of many a nature reserve for sheer exuberance. Enjoy the cock’s crow at dawn, a robin in the autumn, a chorus of blackbirds, a green woodpecker, the buzzing of insects and bumble bees in an orchard. Listen as a hoverfly flits over a farm ditch with a resident frog, to a house martin beneath the roof gutter and a sparrow just above, or the swallow that has perched himself above a sleeping horse, to starlings on the roof of the community hall, a great tit and a blue tit singing alternating stanzas, a barn owl in the cow barn, swifts careening around the parsonage, a blackbird and an icterine warbler on a wooded bank, and much, much more.
