Secret World of Sound With David Attenborough
Sunday, 8pm, Sky Nature

Turn up the volume for David Attenborough’s wonderful symphony of nature’s acoustics. The three-part series follows eight animals per episode and is filmed in 4k ultra-high definition with 360-degree sound, for an experience that fully immerses us in the natural world. It starts with buff-tailed bumblebees using the “sonic assault” of their wings to loosen pollen, and that master of silence the great grey owl, whose uneven ears enable it to hear the rustle of voles in the snow. There are also musical performances from whistling and squeaking bottlenose dolphins, tap-dancing kangaroo rats and roaming, roaring lions. Hollie Richardson
