3 May is International Dawn Chorus Day and the best time to hear it is from 5:30am from your window, balcony or garden! The RSPB can help you identify which birds are singing here. If you’d prefer to hear it indoors, you can listen to it online with the RSPB 5-7am and Chris Packham from 7am-8am. #DawnChorusDay
