Bedtime Birdsong: Nests & Neighbours to Drift Off To

Tonight, let the gentle world of nature carry you into a deep, restful sleep. In this episode, we are pairing the soft, rhythmic prose of two classic nature books to help your mind unwind and release the day. We begin with an evening reading from Mary Howitt’s Birds and Their Nests, focusing on the clever architectures of magpies and the quiet, industrious habits of nuthatches. From there, we drift into the calming, nostalgic pages of Neltje Blanchan’s Bird Neighbors, moving slowly through its thoughtful introduction and foreword.
