    Chorus talent


    Had a bit of a rough week so decided I would get up early today to hear the dawn chorus for a bit of wellbeing – so glad I did as I managed to capture a curlew. Didn’t see him or her, but I heard them. And just by sitting by an open window!

    Would definitely recommend a bit of a dawn chorus "sound bath" for a soul cleanse. I have been up since 5am, but worth it 💛

      Amazing that you heard the Curlew! I love this app! I managed to record a cuckoo last year, was very happy with myself. I’m up the crack of dawn most mornings and there’s something magical about the dawn course.

      As a biologist working in North America this app is a daily user and so intuitive!!

      It has been great hearing it recently and the good weather too. I remember using Merlin on a work trip in Mexico and when my colleagues asked what I was at I said, “It is like Shazam for birds”. I got the piss taken out of me for a bit for that lol

      I wake up at 5am everyday. Hearing the “dawn chorus” is an important part of my day. I feel grateful to be alive

      Just went to show my dawn chorus hits here, but turns out I didn’t save it, sleepy head on me. 😢 But I remember that there was a common wood pigeon, Sardinian warbler, Eurasian blackcap, blackbird, robin and a couple of others. I’m in Sicily!

      Absolutely adore the Merlin app and how widely used it is. Birds of a feather and all that. Here’s a screenshot from April, got some amazing hits that day.

      Interesting, I’ve been wanting to identify the birdsong I hear near my house. It starts for me about an hour or two before sunrise and it’s quite varied throughout the day.

      Aw man, all we get is starlings, robins, jackdaws, magpies and seagulls! And the odd londubh.

      I didn’t think we got carrion crows in Ireland, but apparently we do get an occasional visitor on the eastern coast, and there’s a small breeding population in County Down. The dominant crow species in Ireland is the hooded crow, and usually you don’t get carrion crows where you have hooded crows, and vice versa.

      I was recording the other day and my cat showed up so I made some calling noise to her and it registered as a cuckoo.

      Blissful Saturday when you’re woken up by a pair of tits.

      I get up at 5.15am daily and the dawn chorus these mornings is amazing. From the moment I wake I can hear them outside giving it socks.

      Always take a few seconds on my way to the car to listen as the sun rises. Been fabulous the past week with the good weather too.
