The British Library Sound Archive has over 400 sounds of nature including birds, insects, mammals and soundscapes. Browse by location, animal group, or habitat.
When browsing by location, viewers can click on an indicated area of a map of the world. Mouse over the red dots to see what kind of sound is available. When browsing by animal, click on the soundscapes or animal group - reptiles, aquatic animals, frogs and toads, insects, land mammals, or birds. Habitats include woodlands, grasslands, home and farm, bush and desert, urban and garden, coast, moorland and mountain, sea, tropical forest, freshwater, and wetland.
