shopThe Dawn Chorus
Posted 16 Mar 2009
If you don't rise early enough to catch the dawn chorus then this is your opportunity to listen to it when it suits you! This clip features the peaceful tune of this morning's dawn chorus, performed and conducted by the birds of LambWatch!
For best affect, turn your volume up so you can hear all the little backing details! How many birds can you hear? In creating this video, I have definitely been able to identify the sounds (and sights) of at least 6 species of birds! We would be interested to know what you can hear! Feel free to tell us in the comments box to the left.
This clip features about five 30-or-so second parts of the entire dawn chorus for this morning, starting at approximately 5.30 am and ending at approximately 6.30am. To catch the whole dawn chorus, simply tune in from about 5am every morning! Simple! :P

Some I know and some I would have to guess at but I think I could hear a robin, a blackbird, sparrow, woodpigeon, pheasants, rooks/crow and the tap tap of the woodpecker (not that it is a song) at a guess I would say there must be bluetits, finches and I'm not sure if I heard the curlew too.

Very relaxing, Margaret is more or less spot on about which birds we can hear but theres deffinately not a Curlew because they are wading birds.
