"Audio above is from mine and Andy’s house - it’s sounds noisier when your asleep! But lots of seagulls and blackbird. Fairly quiet - we could hear a lot of action in the distance in our local woods, so will go there next time. Agree with the sparrows, they were chirping in our garden very late! "

Dawn Chorus: Blackbirds (Alex and Andy, Patchway, Bristol)

"A bit later on you hear the crows and magpies - they obviously like a lie in.)
