Dawn Chorus

Duration: 7 hours

First broadcast: on BBC Radio OrkneyLatest broadcast: on BBC Radio Scotland Extra

Euan McIllwraith joins Radio stations across The World as they broadcast the dawn chorus in real time. It's a birdsong Marathon we begin at midnight and end at 7am - and this year, it's bigger than ever! Countries confirmed to take part this year include previous favourites like India, Finland, Lithuania, Slovenia, Northern Ireland, Ireland and Poland - and this year we’re very excited to be also joined by colleagues in Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Israel, Cyprus, Italy, Portugal, Wales, – and our very first visit to the African continent, as we’ll hear the Dawn Chorus live from Kenya!
