About this listen

Experience the great wealth of wildlife on our planet through a journey in sound.

The 22 recordings, all made by WSRS members, come from locations as diverse as Great Britain, Germany, Hungary, Cyprus, Sweden, Australia, Borneo, Malawi, Madagascar, Canada and Venezuela. Hear the Blackcap, Coot and Moorhen at Lake Zawadowka in Poland, the Oriental Turtle Dove and Striated Laughing thrush in India, and the Great Frigate bird and Red Footed Booby recorded in the unique habitat of the Galapagos Islands – a worldwide panorama of wild places.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes if they enjoyed listening to bird sounds and didn't need to know what sounds they were hearing.

What other book might you compare Wild World to, and why?

Similar to wild Britain but it's obvious that some of the soundscapes are in the rainforest and in other countries.

What does the narrator bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

There isn't a narrator so this question is once again irrelevant and stupid.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, though I didn't.

Any additional comments?

Overall, I enjoyed this book but would love to know all the sounds I was hearing.

A wild and enjoyable listen.
