Stand in the centre of the Listening Wall and hear the sounds of the nature reserve amplified as if by magic. The wall overlooks the Loons wetland, which is home to a variety of birds - from waders nesting in the nearby fields, to raptors circling overhead, to the buzz of insects and the quacking of ducks.
This self-guided event will be running throughout the week, so come by any time - there will be leaflets there with information about the sounds you’ll hear, and about the wall and surrounding poetry installation.
