The members and committee of the Wildlife Sound Recording Society (WSRS) have kindly agreed to provide us with a variety of professional and amateur recordings of wildlife – from the Scottish Isles to the Great Barrier Reef – for inclusion within our programmes. Founded in 1968, WSRS is probably the oldest sound recording society in the world.
