The countdown has officially begun to this weekend's RTÉ Mooney Goes Wild Dawn Chorus...
The Dawn Chorus has become a radio phenomenon in Ireland. Every spring, for more than two decades now, Derek Mooney and his Mooney Goes Wild team on RTÉ Radio 1 have broadcast the sounds of early morning birdsong into homes across the country. Following on from the huge success of the multi-award winning European Dawn Chorus programme in 2016 (scooping the Rose D'Or for European Radio Event Of The Year and national PPI Radio Award for Innovation), RTÉ will once more team up with broadcasters and bird experts across Europe to bring listeners the exquisite sound and expert analysis of this beautiful birdsong.
Dawn Chorus 2017 will take place on Sunday, May 7th 2017 from 00:00 - 06:00 (Irish time). Find out more about Dawn Chorus 2017 here.
