The Dawn Chorus on BBC Radio Ulster (1 Viewer)

[IAN JAMES THOMPSON]

Did anyone last weekend listen to a radio programes with live coverage of the dawn chorus. The programe was on BBC Radio Ulster. But was organised by a Radio channel in the Republic of Ireland and it involved a number of country's in Europe via Eurovision. It was broadcast over last weekend. I knew nothing about it, as apparently it was also. broadcast on Radio 4 throughout the night. The programe itself was broadcast from 12.00am-7.00am UK time. It included live coverage of the sound from a Capercaille Lek in Northern Europe as well as a number of other sites all through Europe including the RSPB reserve of Ham Wall in the UK. I've just downloaded all 7 hours of the programe from the weekend from BBC Radio Ulster and I've been listening to the download since earlier today. I'm on the second last hour of the programe and it's really been very very good.
Ian.

Been listening to the RTE programme all night (linked above). Been great to hear birds being discussed, and listened to, for such a long time. The two Russian guys were pretty funny too. I'm also on the 2nd last hour now. Highly recommend it.
