World Listening Day 2023

https://divacontemporary.bandcamp.com/album/world-listening-day-2023

Sounds collected over 2 days exploring Badbury Rings in Dorset UK. Badbury Rings is an Iron Age hillfort in east Dorset. The Badbury Rings site dates from around 800 BC and was in use until the Roman occupation of 43 AD. Now forming part of the Kingston Lacy estate, and under the guardianship of The National Trust, the Badbury Rings site has been restored to light grazing land as this has always played an important role in establishing centuries of wild herbs and flowers.
