Join Darryl Grimason and Dr Bob Brown live on International Dawn Chorus Day as they link up with radio colleagues across the globe to celebrate this ornithological opera.

Darryl says: “After the comparative silence of a dark winter, spring birdsong is proof of life: a universal panacea that brightens the mood. And when the dawn chorus is in full swing, on a woodland walk or even a dander to though suburbia, it can make you stop in your tracks – look to heaven in the treetops and put a smile on your face. I’m delighted to be up with the lark for this ambitious broadcast, in the company of truly gifted ornithologist, Bob Brown. I wonder who else will join us at Castle Espie on the morning…. I predict surprise guests and impromptu solos from world class choristers.” Show less
