Note from James Wild: I decided to put this recording together because I had a lot of requests for nature sounds which I have used in my music recordings over the years. The one here I particularly like is the Rain and Thunder track. You can hear the storm gradually approaching and the rain getting heavier. It's a real beauty. I am a keen birdwatcher so I love the Lyrebird in all it's vocal splendour on track 2.
