Released: 13th January 2023. An album of incredible music inspired by endangered birdsong, this is the third album from The Birdsong Project that challenges ten artists from a certain region to make an original track using and inspired by the song of a threatened bird. 100% of the profits from the project go to bird conservation NGOs working on the ground.
