A daylight rehearsal broadcast from a wood on the borders of Surrey and Sussex
The broadcast will open with an evening chorus of birds. And then a description will be given of the scene from which it is hoped to broadcast the nightingale's song between 11.0 and
12.0 any night this week.
Listeners will hear about the technical arrangements that have been made to broadcast this voice throughout the country.
An evening chorus of British birds is to be heard in Britain today, and on Wednesday between 4 a.m. and 5 a.m. a morning chorus of British birds is to be broadcast to the Empire.
