In April 2018 the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), managed by the Norfolk Coast Partnership, celebrated its 50th anniversary.
This sonic snapshot produced by me captures some of the anniversary celebrations.
It was first broadcast as part of the Sounding Coastal Change project in July 2018.
In July 2017 the Norfolk Coast Partnership, the National Trust, the Norfolk Wildlife Trust, Holkham National Nature Reserve, RSPB Titchwell Marsh and the Norfolk Biodiversity Information Service came together for the first time to undertake the Norfolk Coast Bioblitz. Forty-eight hours of biodiversity, surveying, citizen science and public engagement activities.
A sonic snapshot that captures the atmosphere of the weekend, with serious science and a lot of fun.
It was produced by me for the Sounding Coast Change project.
For part of the Sounding Coastal Change Project in 2017, Year 6 pupils from the Pilgrim Federation of Church of England Primary Schools in Norfolk learned about sound recording.
During a couple of field trips they captured the sounds of birds and insects (and a lot of wind!) along the North Norfolk coastline. They also interviewed residents of Blakeney to capture their thoughts about living in the area.
This sonic snapshot was produced by me and first aired in July 2018 during the Sounding Coastal Change 24 hour broadcast.
