What does grief feel like?

this strange relationship with the natural world, this sort of broken relationship.

How can we go into a place of repair and reawakening, re-enchanting of that adoration that we all really have about nature, particularly birds?

I will never listen to birds in the same way.

I will never think about nature in the same way.

What can I do in my life to be a climate campaigner, a nature protector?

And I think that's, for me, the big hope, is that what we're creating is empowering change-makers, people to come out of this and feel that carrying the mantle to be influencers in the good way and caretakers.

I mean, these birds, if you get an old male, the nightingale's got up to 1,200 different sounds.

And they're improvising on all those gestures and motifs.

So sometimes it can be an absolute spectacle of different sounds.

Tonight we're going to go and hear a new bird that's just landed late in the season.

So who knows what he's got.

Maybe he's a young one, didn't have a territory.

Maybe he's not quite so...

you know, brilliant by 90 girl standards.

For me, every bird is beautiful and it's got their own character and will have their own relationship with the musicians.

And this is the important, how does the bird connect him with us musicians?

And this is the bit that's like, it's on a whole other level of how some musicians and the bird find this, it's like a love affair, this musical dance, this duet.

and every musician has a different experience.

It's the big question, and the short answer is I don't know.
