Welcome to the Clara Soundwalk
This is a geolocated soundwalk for the Clara Bog Boardwalk
Curlew calls at Dawn

Curlew calls at dawn,
Long beak searches muddy bog,
Wings sweep through soft sky.
The Raft Spider

The Raft Spider
Skates peacefully across the lake
'Cause that's what they do
The spider hunts and attacks its prey
Moving swiftly with its legs away.
