A celebration of nature's symphony taking place on the first Sunday of May, International Dawn Chorus Day is the worldwide celebration of nature's greatest symphony. All across the world people rise early to revel in the sweet sound of birdsong, from rattling wrens in Rotherham to crooning cowbirds in the Caribbean. 

And remember you can always just open your window - and listen...

Thunder and frogs at Bandhavgarh.

Siberian Rubythroat, Siberian Blue Robin, White’s Thrush… some tantalising Asian vagrants that most British birders dream of finding on their local patch! Although often skulking and tricky to get good views of, these are easy to identify. However, some of the warblers, like Arctic, Greenish and Two-barred – as well as some close relatives of these that are not yet on the British list – are more challenging to distinguish.

In his talk at 2019's Birdfair, Professor Per Alström discussed the identification of an array of eastern vagrants, but also highlight the enormously improved knowledge in this field over the last few decades, alongside mention of some of his own struggles to learn more about these birds.
