I love a 5am start; a whole new day stretching ahead of me, all shiny and full of possibilities.
The dog regards this as an uncivilised time to leave his basket, so usually it’s just me, my cup of tea and the free-ranging foxes that enjoy the sunrise. What the rest of the slumbering world miss at this time is a concert of riotous, joyful, beautiful music - the kind that makes you glad to be alive.

These wonderful singers were brought together by the RSPB’s resident birdsong expert Adrian Thomas who recorded them across the UK from 2016- 2019. He was then joined by acclaimed folk singer Sam Lee and music director Bill Barclay to compose these amazing voices into one - creating this audio snapshot of British nature at its best. Although the track is not designed to raise funds, and the download price is the minimum permitted under chart rules; any proceeds raised will go towards helping the charity’s 200 nature reserves around the UK. Here, a home for the birds featured on the single has been created and protected for future generations to enjoy. The single goes on general release on 26th April. Find out more at the RSPB website and enjoy the opportunity to hear the birdsong even if you are not an early riser! The track is available to preorder now from iTunes and Google Play.
