Join us at the Colac Library to listen to Andrew Skeoch talk about his book 'Deep Listening to Nature', Andrew uses audio examples of birdsong and nature in his presentation.

Andrew Skeoch poses the question, how can we engage our hearing to connect more deeply to nature around us? Through vibrant recordings and spectrogram analysis that shows the beauty of birdsong, you will be guided into hearing the languages of nature; developing your auditory awareness, identifying species by ear, recognising behaviours and repertoire, and finding empathy with the voices of other creatures.

You’ll hear the environment around you in a whole new way. 

Don't miss this special, free event.
