There's something about the soundtrack of the great British outdoors that just hits different. From bleats to buzzes, which noise would leave the biggest silence in your soul?
Put the items in your preferred order.

The Dawn Chorus
That glorious tangle of birdsong before sunrise, best enjoyed with a cuppa and slightly damp slippers. Absolute chaos, absolutely magical.

Sheep Bleating on a Hillside
Whether you're in Yorkshire, Wales or the Lakes, that distant baaa echoing off the fells feels like coming home. Bonus points if a lamb answers back.

A Cuckoo in Spring
Increasingly rare and all the more thrilling for it. Hearing one feels like winning a tiny lottery run by the RSPB.

Bees in a Lavender Bush
That drowsy, buzzy hum on a warm July afternoon is basically audio Valium. Pure garden bliss.

An Owl Hooting at Dusk
That first tawny owl call as the light fades makes even the most sensible dog walker feel like they're in a folk horror film. Delightfully eerie.
