Annie-Marie McAleese and expert ornithologists link up with RTE and across Europe to mark International Dawn Chorus Day and celebrate one of nature's most magical sounds.

Annie-Marie McAleese and expert ornithologists mark International Dawn Chorus Day as they link up with radio colleagues in RTE and across Europe to celebrate one of the most magical sounds in nature. Join us to hear some fascinating conversation about the nature of birdsong, and the wonder of the chorus itself as our avian friends wake up and sing all across Europe. Starting with the rock thrush in Bulgaria, we will also hear the crested lark in Rome, the azure-winged Magpie in Spain and last but not least our star species in Northern Ireland this year: the great spotted woodpecker of County Down.
