Who's calling?
Now here’s a blast from the past! It kicks in half way through our Let Nature Sing single with rhythmic paired, purring notes: ‘Tur tur…tur tur, tur tur…tur tur’.
The sound of the song, which is like the sound of a 1970s Trimphone for those who remember back that far, is what gave this bird its name: turtle dove. Listen very closely and you will hear that the paired notes are themselves in pairs, giving a gently rolling rhythm: “one two (pause) three four (pause)”.
