Podcast appearances and mentions of Dawn chorus

A five minute recording is all it takes to tell what time day and year it is at home. Natural sounds like backyard native birds like Collared Kingfisher, Philippines Pied Fantail, Zebra doves, and Yellow-vented Bulbuls are busy asserting their territory and finding food in the morning before it gets too hot. Migratory birds like Gray Wagtail, Arctic Warbler, and Ashy Minivet mean that it's sometime during their busy winter migration. Human sounds also provide great clues. People sweep streets by hand with a local broom called walis tingting before it gets too hot and motorcycles rev past during the busy rush hour.Recorded in Antipolo City, Philippines by Janina Castro.

The price of wool from British sheep is at a ten year high - on average farmers will see a 70 per cent increase on last year. However that will still only just cover the cost of shearing the sheep. The price is set by British Wool, which is owned by around 30,000 UK sheep farmers, and collects, grades, sells and promotes wool. It says the price rise is down to increased demand, and a worldwide fall in the number of sheep. Well if you've been out and about in the countryside in the last few weeks you may have seen the glorious displays of bluebells. Not all of them are native - and there's concern that the invasive Spanish variety is spreading, and could threaten our more delicate blooms. Bluebells are protected - it is illegal to pick them - and in some parts of the UK, land owners are doing more to preserve the native species. And all this week we're listening to the countryside - the sounds we hear beyond, say, a tractor, or cows mooing. So far we've heard bats, worms in the soil and babbling brooks. Today we're joining an organised dawn chorus walk - It's one of the most popular events at Bere Farm in Dorset, run by the Countryside Regeneration Trust. Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Sally Challoner.

We woke before sunrise in Killarney National Park to experience the dawn chorus — nature's incredible morning concert. Joined by ecologist Irene Sullivan, we discover why birds sing at dawn, how birds help biodiversity, and what birdsong can tell us about the health of our environment

“One day a year, I turn the quintessential night owl that I am into an early bird and get up before dawn to participate in Reveil. This magical project by Soundcamp broadcasts the sounds of the Dawn Chorus, live streamed by people all over the world. For 24+1 hours, you can hear the earth waking up, as the mix makes a loop around the globe. Every year, I’m profoundly touched by the poetry of this communal listening experience. This year, I streamed from a nature reserve on the Belgian coast: the estuary of the river Ijzer, near the Nieuwpoort harbour. This rainy cuckoo song made me smile. As I sheltered in a birding cabin, a friendly face appeared in the window, as if to ask: ‘Are you awake?'”

Mitkä linnut olivat äänessä Lohjalla sunnuntaiaamuna? Kuultiinko tällä kertaa vihellysten, pärinöiden, räpätysten, lurittelujen ja sirkutusten lomassa myös pulloon puhaltelua tai kavioiden kopsetta? Minna Pyykkö oli lintuasiantuntija Jan Södersvedin, tutkijatohtori Patrik Lauhan ja luontotoimittaja Asko Hauta-ahon kanssa Vaanilanlahden rannassa raportoimassa suorana kuluneen yön ja aamun tunnelmista. Aamussa oli mukana myös Rory Cobbe Irlannin radiosta RTEstä, jonka legendaarisessa Dawn Chorus- ohjelmassa lohjalaiset linnut konsertoivat myös aamun mittaan.

Mixing trees and farming in agro-forestry: why the key to resilient farming could be trees. We're looking at this all this week and today we hear from a British pioneer. A week today millions of people will head to the polls to vote in a number of local council and mayoral elections in England, while voters in Scotland and Wales will elect representatives to their national parliaments.  Farming policy is largely devolved to the governments in Edinburgh and Cardiff, and having heard the latest from the campaign trail in Scotland yesterday, today we turn to Wales.This Sunday is International Dawn Chorus day. The RSPB is using the occasion to celebrate a rise in the number of young people bird watching, though the British Trust for Ornithology warns that there are fewer birds for them to see and hear. Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Beatrice Fenton.

Our good friend Chris Baines has been presented with the Victoria medal of honour by the RHS. We have a good natter with Chris about just how proud he is and how proud his Mom would have been.

This hour long mix comprises of field recordings made on and around Spring Equinoxes of various years. It takes you down through the Northern Hemisphere – from my sitting room in East London to a cottage balcony in the tropical  forests of Borneo. Listen for Slovenian jackals, Polish moor frogs, a Himalayan shepherd herding sheep, a hippopotamus getting ready for the night in Sierra Leone and choirs of birds singing across the globe. It was only in researching for this show that I realised the equinox actually refers not to a whole day but a single moment in time, when the sun faces directly over the equator, granting the entire globe with roughly equal length days and nights around it. I was captivated by this idea of a single moment of equilibrium and the impossibility of capturing that – which is much like the experience of listening itself, always dissolving as soon as you try to catch hold. And the equinox moment itself is both something of a physical reality, and pure idea, constructed entirely by an imaginary line humans have drawn and named the equator. Again, this paradox seems to resonate with the act of field recording, which both records a physical reality of a time and place through the sound waves that are imprinted through a microphone, but also creates a totally new and artificial object of its own. Whilst lines of longitude go from east to west and determine clock time, lines of latitude go from North to South and determine climate, with the suns rays becoming more intense the further south we go. Whilst enjoying one of the first sunny days we've had in London (where I am) in a long time, I decided to structure this mix along lines of latitude, moving from North to South through the Northern Hemisphere. I wonder if listeners will be able to feel the sun's intensity increasing through their ears. It was a privilege to shape these extraordinary sounds into a journey. Whilst making it I found myself contemplating the equinox as a time of both stillness and motion, sameness and divergence, meeting and departure – and I invite you to listen into this space of contradiction with me.

In this episode, we begin a special two-part conversation with Faansie Peacock — one of Southern Africa's most passionate and prolific birders, authors, artists, and educators. Faansie has played a massive role in shaping how we see and understand birds in this region, from field guides to bird calls to digital tools.In this first part, we explore Faansie's early birding journey, how his relationship with listing has changed over time, and how deepening your connection with birds can transform the way you bird. We also get into the importance of sound recording, what it means to truly know a species, and how fieldcraft and storytelling go hand in hand.This episode is proudly associated with Firefinch App. Firefinch is more than just an app. It's a celebration of Southern Africa's birds, birders and wild places.

Upon saying yes to Jesus, yes to God, we begin the daily journey in a covenant relationship with God. A relationship of intimacy and trust. Having been reconciled to God upon saying yes to Jesus yes to God we become part of the dawn chorus. The new song, that heralds in His new creation. Where Jesus rules and reigns in our hearts and minds and we live in continual surrender of self will to that of the Father's will. As you listen be blessed, empowered and transformed in Jesus name.Send us a textFor more information and free resources visit our website jesuslovestheworld.info Also connect with us in discipleship, watch our videos, follow us on facebook or send us an email

 |The recording is made in the night, we hear a chorus of morning birds with some unique vocalisations, the perspective is typical for Hong Kong which is defined by skyscraper architecture, this recording was made from an apartment on the 18th floor through the window, which gives an indirect impression - an observation in sound of city going quiet in the night, creating space for non-human expressions. The birds are enveloped by the noise and hiss of the city at dawn. Recorded by Robin Koek.

Episode 328 Not only has the mRNA covid vaccine saved 14 million lives, it may also help our bodies fight off cancer. A study of cancer patients undergoing immunotherapy treatment showed those who received an mRNA vaccine lived nearly twice as long - and this effect was discovered by accident. In a trial of cancer vaccines, Elias Sayour's team at the University of Florida used standard mRNA vaccines as a control - they weren't meant to do anything. Except they did - and the effect was huge. It's still early days, but as we await more trial results, people are beginning to speculate how this might transform cancer treatment. Ahead of COP30, the World Resources Institute has published the State of Climate Action 2025 report - and it doesn't make for good reading. It finds that we have failed to meet any of the goals laid out in the Paris agreement to avoid breaching 1.5°C of global warming. From deforestation to coal use, we're not moving fast enough on anything. Hear from the authors of the report, who offer an important message of hope. Why do birds sing the dawn chorus? Many theories exist - 11 in fact - but a new one has emerged, after scientists were studying zebra finches in the lab. Hear their conclusion while enjoying the serenity of birdsong, recorded at some of the RSPB's nature reserves.

Are you looking to relax, unwind and immerse yourself in one of the most spectacular phenomena that the natural world has to offer? If so, it's time to set your ears free and relive the magic of Mooney Goes Wild's seven-hour live broadcast of the Dawn Chorus.

This was recorded on a beautiful spring morning in the forest near Six Shooter Butte in Sattitla Highlands National Monument, Shasta-Trinity National Forest, Siskiyou County, California. A gentle breeze blew steadily through the fir and pine trees above as the birds began to sing in the faint light of dawn. Listen for the songs of Yellow Rumped Warblers, Western Tanagers, Hermit Thrushes, Red-breasted Nuthatches, and others.

Spring Dawn Chorus, Sweet Lake, MI, 5/13/2025 by Jacob Job

In this immersive journey through Scandinavia, legendary sound recordist Martyn Stewart and host Amanda Hill explore the raw, untamed beauty of the North. From the creaking glaciers of Norway to the geysers of Iceland and the thunderous storms of the Faroe Islands, Martyn shares stories from decades of fieldwork—mic'ing up waterfalls, surviving hurricane winds, and capturing the eerie, majestic songs of wolves, moose, and reindeer. They marvel at the choreography of humpback whale bubble-netting, laugh about microphone-laden decoy ducks, and close with the serene magic of the Norwegian dawn chorus. It's a cinematic, soulful celebration of nature's voice and our deep connection to it.www.thelisteningplanet.com

Bill and Steve look into the Dawn Chrous, that early morning explosion of bird song that refuses to let you sleep in. And, for all you Daniel-haters out there, this episode is 100% Daniel-free (but Bill and Steve are both crying on the inside. We miss Daniel buckets, and we're betting you do, too).This episode was recorded on April 10, 2025 at the California Road Rereation Area in Orchard Park, NY.Episode Notes and LinksAre there orioles in China? Bill shared the classic Chinese poem from the Tang Dynasty (~600–900 CE) - the one called "Feelings on Awakening from Drunkenness on a Spring Day" by Li Bai, and Steve wondered: Are there Orioles in China. Turns out that, yes, there are, and they're more oriole-y (?) than ours! That's because our New World orioles, like the one we're betting you're thinking of right now (the well-known orange and black Baltimore Oriole) belong to the family Icteridae and are not closely related to Old World orioles. Instead, they're closely related to blackbirds and meadowlarks, fellow family members in the Icteridae. Old world orioles in Europe and Asia, on the other hand, belong to the family Oriolidae. Our orioles were named after them because of the similarities to the old world orioles in behavior, diet, and appearance, but, despite the similarities – these families are not closely related. The similarities evolved independently due to convergent evolution (when species develop similar traits in response to similar environmental pressures). So, yes, Steve, there are orioles in China, but it's tough to say for sure which oriole Li Bai heard in his drunken stupor because Birds of China reports seven species found throughout the country, and, as we pointed out, given Li Bai's state, maybe the bird was only in his head. Is there a Thorpe's Law? When Bill mentioned William Thorpe, a British biologist and ornithologist, Steve thought he recalled there was an ecological law or concept credited to Thorpe. Bill scoured the Internet, but the closest thing he could find was Taylor's power law, an empirical law in ecology that relates the variance of the number of individuals of a species per unit area of habitat to the corresponding mean by a power law relationship. If that made sense to you, Bill asks if you could kindly explain it to him. bird Can someone look at a sound spectrograph and identify the bird? The guys wondered if a sound researcher looking at sound spectrographs (visual representations of bird song) could get good enough to know what bird they're looking at just by the visual? An internet search was inconclusive- a lot of sites talk about using the spectrographs as an aid to get better at understanding and ID'ing bird song, but we couldn't find any that specifically addressed this question. We've emailed some bird biologists and we'll update these notes when we hear back!Social Monogamy vs. Sexual Monogamy: Steve talked about how he'd heard that even in species that bond for life, members of the pair will still seek out other mates. True? First, let's make a distinction that Steve alluded to in the episode: that is, social vs. sexual monogamy. In birds, "monogamy" often refers to a social bond, where a pair stays together and raises offspring together. However, this doesn't necessarily mean they are sexually faithful to each other. So, socially monogamous doesn't equal sexual monogamy. Looking in to this, we landed on a passage in The Sibley Guide to Bird Life and Behavior – a birder's bible if there is one – it reports: “90 percent of all bird species are socially monogamous, but some level of cheating is common. Cheating, or “extra-pair copulation” also occurs, but rarely, among birds of sexually monogamous, mated-for-life species, “but is not yet known how many species engage in extra-pair copulations, since many species remain to be studied. However, it appears that genetic monogamy may be the exception rather than the rule among birds.” Sponsors and Ways to Support UsGumleaf Boots, USA (free shipping for patrons)Thank you to Always Wandering Art (Website and Etsy Shop) for providing the artwork for many of our episodes.Support us on Patreon.Check out the Field Guides merch at our Teespring store.

RTÉ's coverage of The Dawn Chorus is 30 years old this year and Derek Mooney joins the show to preview what's planned for this weekend's edition.

First up on tonight's programme, our panel looks forward to one of the biggest and most anticipated natural history broadcasting events of the year: our annual Dawn Chorus Live programme. This year, our live broadcast will take place on Sunday May 4th from midnight through to 7am on both Radio 1 and Lyric FM.

We finish tonight's programme with a preview of the dawn chorus, to give you an idea of what to expect during our seven-hour live broadcast on Sunday 4th May. It promises to be another great programme, with lots of beautiful birdsong, expert commentary and fascinating insights into the avian world.

The Dawn chorus walk is set to take place tomorrow, on the 26th of April, with Ennis Tidy towns. Another will take place in the Burren on the 11th of May. To find out more, Alan Morrissey was joined by Ennis Fine Gael Councillor, Cllr Mary Howard and Tom Lynch, from Bird Watch Ireland. Photo(C): ClareFM

Thanks so much for listening to our podcast! This sermon is from our Easter Sunday celebration and is based on Luke 24:1–12, which is the story of a group of faithful women finding Jesus's tomb empty on Easter morning. While it is still early in the morning, they hear a word of hope from two angels, and then go to tell others. Hope it will be a meaningful word to you this week.To find out more about our church, you can head on over to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.williamsburgbaptist.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

This is a recording of a dawn chorus after two days of hard rain at Ōkārito. Pīpipi Brown Creepers, Mātata Fernbird, Tauhou Silvereyes, and other manu birds are busy feeding and grooming in the warm sunlight. Mixing with this birdsong is the constant rumble of waves that can be heard wherever you are in town. The trail where this was recorded was dripping with rainwater and steaming as the temperature quickly rose. Residents and visitors to Ōkārito frequent this trail as it leads up to a gorgeous view of the native bush, lagoon, and beach.
