Join presenter David Maxwell and bird expert, Claire Barnett, on International Dawn Chorus Day (Sunday 5 May), as they link up with radio colleagues in RTE, across Europe and as far away as India to celebrate this ornithological opera.

BBC Radio Ulster will be joining RTE’s Derek Mooney and other broadcasters from across Europe live on air throughout the night. David and Claire will broadcast from the RSPB’s Window on Wildlife reserve on the shores of Belfast Lough. It offers spectacular and close up views of more than 200 species of birds which live cheek by jowl with the industrial and transport hub that is Belfast’s Harbour estate.

David and Claire will follow every tweet and cheep through the night as it builds towards the springtime crescendo that is the Dawn Chorus. Show less
