We're back in the country for this week's "Sonic" Moment of Calm.

RNZ Concert host Bryan Crump took his recording device for a rural ramble during the recent school holidays. 

While it wasn't quite Beethoven's "Scene by the brook" there was a kingfisher, a farm bike trundling past, magpie quardle ardle doodle, distant cattle, and if you listen closely, you might even hear a skylark ascending.

If you're stuck in town, your trip beyond the city limits is just a click away.
