International Dawn Chorus Day
International Dawn Chorus Day is Sunday 3 May. Wherever you are and whatever you’re doing – the dawn chorus is already happening around you, whether you’re in a city or the countryside, asleep or wide awake.
Across the world, people are setting their alarms a little earlier to wake up to the dawn chorus through a cracked bedroom window, catching it on the dog walk before the school run, or stepping outside after a late night to find the birds already in full voice.
This year, the RSPB challenging the nation to get up a little earlier on Sunday 3 May and share what they hear. Here’s how to get involved:
- Set your alarm to 30 minutes before dawn, then step outside or open your window to let the birdsong soar over you.
- Film it, record it, or simply take a moment to soak it in.
- Share what you hear on social media or with your friends and family and encourage someone else to do the same.
- Use the hashtag #DawnChorusClub
And
- If you want to hear it echoing through the trees at first light, join one of our guided dawn chorus walks at a local RSPB reserve. Our friendly guides can help you put names to the voices filling the air around you, helping you recognise a Chiffchaff’s call from a Willow Warbler’s song.
Take time to just hear it, feel it, share it!
