International Dawn Chorus Day, BBC 6 Music bird-themed mix
BBC Radio 6 Music aired 'The Morning After Mix: Bird Songs' to mark International Dawn Chorus Day, presenting a bird-song themed selection of tranquil tracks. The mix featured Cosmo Sheldrake's 2020 track 'Dawn Chorus' alongside field recordings and nature-inspired pieces. Listeners contributed recordings of local dawn choruses, citing singers such as thrushes and robins from their neighborhoods. The broadcast and shared recordings aim to reconnect people with local biodiversity and offer an accessible way to learn birdsong and notice seasonal change.
It’s here...The light is rising. The birds are too. Wherever you are... take a moment. You’re part of the dawn chorus. Record it. Share it. What do you hear? Let’s fill this thread with birdsong. #DawnChorusClub

VagabondVisions2I was gifted a Weight Watchers membership for Christmas in 2025 and it has been successful for me so far this year. The goal is to reach a comfortable target weight so that by Christmas 2026, I can enjoy all the foods and sweets and chocolate I want without guilt. ;)
