Welcome back to the Deepdale Podcast, our magazine programme about North Norfolk. It's September 2005, there's a blue sky, it's a beautiful, beautiful day. In this episode, Jason has three lovely chats, with some musicians and some wildlife enthusiasts. Steve and Sam from the Brancaster Staithe Sea Shanty Festival chat about the festival this coming weekend, when the whole of Brancaster Staithe and Burnham Deepdale are filled with shanty bands of all shapes and sizes, singing their hearts out in aid of charity. There are six venues, including The Jolly Sailors, White Horse, Marshside, Village Hall, St Mary's Church and our Brick Barn at Deepdale Camping & Rooms. Cole and Joseph from the India Electric Co, join Jason for a chat ahead of their gig at Deepdale Camping & Rooms on Saturday 27th September. They played at the Deepdale Festival 2023, and went down an absolute storm on the Sunday night. Cole joined Jason back in August 2023 on the podcast, so you may have heard him before, but since then the gents have a new album and have been busy with a whole host of projects. And the third chat is with Lucy and Paul from RSPB Titchwell Marsh Nature Reserve. It's a fabulous place, not far from Deepdale, just a couple of villages away. A haven for wildlife and a key site in this beautiful part of the world, where you can see a huge range of habitats in this one place. Spend a few hours walking around and investigating. They run a whole series of events through the year for both those new to birdwatching and those with much more experience. Thank you so much listening to the Deepdale podcast, we really enjoy putting this show together. Please do leave a review on your favourite podcast app or directory, it really helps other people find us, and please do tell your family and friends about us too. This will be the last podcast for the next couple of months, Jason will be back with Chris chatting about their 12 albums for Christmas, as they normally do in the December episode. They so enjoy putting together this magazine programme about the beautiful north Norfolk coast and are glad you enjoy listening to it. See you again in December, in the meantime, if you need to fill your listening ears with more of the beautiful North Norfolk Coast, then do listen back to the back catalogue.

Whilst out along the Kent side of the Thames Estuary on Saturday, aiming to capture the sound of skylarks and reeds, we met a walker with a very friendly border terrier. She told us there was talk of a nightingale not too far away at RSPB's Northward Hill Nature Reserve. We aren't strictly speaking wildlife recordists, the Lento box is designed like a wide angle camera to capture panoramic landscape sounds, but we thought it might be worth a visit to the reserve to see if we might be able to find it. Unusually for us public transport devotees, we were able to travel on to Northward Hill easily thanks to a magnificent Lento supporter. He'd driven us and the Lento box out from Brockley station in South East London to explore another corner of the Hoo Peninsula, and was keen to visit the reserve. We didn't feel hugely confident about actually hearing a nightingale. They are the kinds of birds you don't expect to find on demand. We rolled into the reserve's car park and quickly headed down into the woodland. We descended a rough flight of bare earth steps under the dark shadows of dense tree canopy, surrounded by glorious birdsong. All the usual suspects of course, familiar if you regularly listen to Lento - chif chaf, blackbirds, black caps, jackdaws, robins, various others plus trusty wood pigeons.  After turning right and proceeding further into the woods over a few hundred yards our ears pricked up. I found myself saying "and there it is" before I had even properly heard it. We continued for a few steps and, fortunately, there it was again, this time much more clearly, and without doubt a nightingale only about thirty yards away! Up on the tripod went the Lento box. I turned it to face the sound of the nightingale, and pressed record, bathed in the rich tapestry of spring woodland birds, coming from all around us.  Here's what the box captured. It's only twenty minutes. The passage of time is from around 5pm on 24th May. There are some people vaguely audible and a horse (louder) somewhere to left of scene. A road must pass the reserve too because some level of vehicle noise is distantly audible, but not so much as to spoil the overall effect. We capture whole landscapes from one fixed position, so what you hear is the nightingale just as we heard it from standing on the path and facing into the reserve. Wildlife recordists find ways to post their microphones very close to their subjects and as such we are all used to hearing nightingales proportionately far louder than anything else. In reality though these are not birds that like being approached, so few people can ever actually hear in-person, the bird singing as loudly as they do in specially focused recordings.  With a pair of headphones though this episode provides a realistic woodland soundscape with a nightingale almost dead centre of scene. You should be able quite easily to hear it between the other birds which are spread out to the left and to the right of scene. Listen out for a wonderfully special coincidence that happens a few times where a distant cuckoo comes into earshot too. It is pretty well dead centre, behind the nightingale.  There must be a farm nearby because several cockerels crow towards the end. The whole scene is in fact very busy, and whether a connection or not, I note how the nightingale seems to become more active when the chif chaf is in full voice. Coincidence, or not? This bonus episode is shared with big thanks to our trusty supporter and to the dog walker we met.

Send Me A Message!! The biodiversity crisis might seem like an insurmountable challenge, but amidst the doom and gloom shines a remarkable story of hope and transformation. Welcome to Wild Acres Nature Reserve in County Wicklow, where a couple's decision to trade corporate careers for conservation has created a thriving ecological paradise.When Brian and Gilly purchased four fields of intensively grazed perennial ryegrass in 2017, they faced a landscape stripped of life. Seven years later, their 34-acre reserve boasts 57 wildlife ponds, 15,000 native trees, and four acres of wildflower meadows teeming with insects, birds, and mammals. From otters playing in the ponds to woodpeckers drumming in the trees, the transformation has been nothing short of miraculous.What makes their story particularly inspiring is how accessible their methods are to everyone. As Brian explains, "Nature is very forgiving. Once you bring the habitats back, it will respond positively." Their experience demonstrates that even small actions can yield remarkable results. A wildlife pond—which can be as simple as a repurposed container on a balcony—can attract diverse aquatic life within days. Native wildflowers, whether in a meadow or container, provide critical food sources for pollinators. These small pockets of habitat, when created across neighborhoods, form vital connectivity that allows wildlife to thrive in urban and suburban settings.Beyond the ecological benefits, Wild Acres highlights the profound human connection to nature. Scientific research now confirms what Brian and Gillian witness regularly: time spent in natural spaces reduces stress hormones, improves mental clarity, and enhances overall wellbeing. Their workshops on pond creation, beekeeping, and wildlife gardening consistently sell out as people seek to reconnect with the natural world and make a positive difference.Ready to create your own patch of biodiversity paradise? Visit Wild Acres online to learn about their upcoming workshops or start simply with a small pond, native plants, or bird feeder in your garden. The journey toward ecological recovery begins with a single step—and as this inspiring couple proves, nature will gladly meet you halfway.You can connect with Wildacres here https://wildacres.ieSupport the showIf there is any topic you would like covered in future episodes, please let me know.

It is hard to believe this is North East London at dawn. And yet it is. 5am, last Wednesday. Day break, on the 1st of May. Misted air, barely a breeze. Verdantly breathable air, filtered and cleaned by the dense surrounding woodland. When at 8am the park gates are unlocked, the people will come to walk the winding paths. Bathe in the atmosphere created by the trees. And breathe the restorative, country clean air.  This is what a nature reserve within a city does. It purifies the air, not just for the lungs but for the ears. Layers upon layers of veteran trees soften the city rumble whilst providing a myriad of roosting spots for the songbirds to sing. And as they sing, their mellifluous sounds echo and reflect off all the boughs, branches, and countless leaves, to form an aural brilliance that is wonderful to behold.  But behold the brilliance we rarely do. Rarely can do. 5am is not when most of us are around or want to be around. And perhaps, for the sake of the birds and their own sense of freedom in the trees that are their home, that's not such a bad thing. 5am is, shall we all agree, their time of day. Their chance to be on their own amongst their own kind. Be themselves, and be in the world, in their own particular way. Capturing an hour of this world, as it happened, and on a day when the sky was relatively free of planes and the nearby roads relatively free of traffic and sirens, is what the Lento box was there to do. Here is that hour of time, heard from behind the gates of the newly restored chapel at the heart of Abney Park nature reserve.   Our special thanks to Abney Park for allowing us to capture the dawn chorus from the chapel. We recorded this episode exactly three years after our last recording just before the major restoration project started in the chapel. Listen to the dawn chorus from inside the chapel in 2021, in episode 68. And more episodes from around Abney Park here.

Spanish farmers in Madrid have held more protests, despite the European Commission announcing a review of its so-called 'green deal' which was designed to help the EU reach carbon neutrality by 2050. Farmers across Europe have voiced their anger at red tape and new environmental rules. Last week the Commission published a raft of proposed changes, which still have to be agreed. It says it'll cut back on red tape, allow individual member states more freedom over new 'greening' rules, and remove the demand that farmers must put a certain percentage of their land over to the environment. Conservationists have criticised the move as a backward step for the environment. The UK gets through around £68 million worth of scampi a year. but a conservation group says the current drive to make fishing for langoustine more environmentally friendly has failed. How sustainable is our scampi? We speak to a fisherman and an environmental campaigner.The Office for Environmental Protection is investigating whether there's been a failure to comply with the law governing Special Protection Areas for wild birds, in Northern Ireland and England. A similar investigation is being undertaken in Scotland, while in Wales there are concerns about how these sites are being run. S.P.A.s are legally designated sites that protect rare and threatened wild birds. The OEP says it's taking action because the recommendations from a review of these sites between 2015 and 2017 has still not been published.A new National Nature Reserve's been created on the South Devon coast at Budleigh Salterton. The Lower Otter Estuary is home to Dartford warblers, silver-studded blue butterflies, populations of sea trout, Atlantic salmon and eels.Presenter = Anna Hill Producer = Rebecca Rooney

It is the soundscape of a saltmarsh nature reserve - the daytime flora and fauna, birds, insects and landscape winding down before night time, a watershed between one part of a 24 hour cycle and another. It hopefully communicates that peaceful wave, interupted by a small moped going past on a track. I left this in as a reminder of how human noise invades the sonic world. Recorded by Mary Hooper.

Recent breeding success at a nature reserve in South Africa has given conservationists hope for the survival of Africa's only resident penguin species, whose population has dropped by nearly 65% since 1989. Researchers are having success boosting breeding colonies near abundant food sources with the help of simple interventions like building nest boxes that mimic their guano burrows which keep the birds cool and safe in a world whose climate is becoming hotter and less predictable.
