I have been describing a forest scene and there are only so many times I can use a form of the word Rustling.
Is there a word or phrase that can be used in place of this (It doesn't have to fit perfectly into place with rustles/rustling/rustled).
Any word or phrase that can describe the sound of:
- Something moving through leaves
- Leaves interacting with each other physically

from the Latin susurrus for whisper.
