International Dawn Chorus Day | Sunday 3rd May
Millions of people around the world will be setting their alarms for very early in the morning, stepping out into their gardens, onto balconies, or simply opening the door, just to listen to one of the most beautiful concerts in nature…the Dawn Chorus.
It's that magical moment when birds everywhere burst into song. They’re not doing it for us, but that doesn’t matter. We can still enjoy it. And why not? It’s completely free.
For more than thirty years now, Mooney Goes Wild has been broadcasting the sounds of early‑morning birdsong in one way, shape or form on RTÉ Radio — and they'll be doing it again this year.
You can join Derek Mooney and his team, of experts on RTÉ Radio 1, RTÉ lyric fm, and on the RTÉ Radio Player app, from midnight on Saturday right through to seven on Sunday morning.
It promises to be as gorgeous as ever — so make a date with the Dawn Chorus next Saturday from midnight, here on RTÉ Radio 1 and RTÉ lyric fm."
