Product Description

Product Description
This is the perfect chance to immerse yourself in the uplifting sounds of a perfect country morning, from the comfort of your own home. At dawn, in our countryside, there is a pronounced peak in bird singing activity. This is especially noticeable for about an hour after the first light in temperate zone woodlands during spring and early summer. At this time, male birds defend their territories and attract females with their songs. The recordings on this CD are a selection of British woodland recordings, taken from the extensive collection of the wildlife section of the British Library sound archive.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tremendously lifelike!, 10 Jan 2009
By Mr. P. A. Goddard "Philip Goddard" (Exeter, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The one slightly cheating thing about this CD is the title, which really would have been better in the plural because it rather gives the impression that you'd be listening to a single dawn chorus right from the beginning. If you want that experience, look out the wonderful Dawn Chorus CD by Geoff Sample. Anyway, although you don't get that in this CD, you do get five immensely beautiful, clear and lifelike dawn chorus recordings - a total of 73 minutes.

The recordings are all in southern England, and, for those who have not experienced British late spring or early summer dawn choruses, these would be quite something - that is, even more 'quite something' than they are to a dyed-in-the-wool Southern Brit like myself! The birdsong in these choruses has a sweet, musical and varied quality that is quite unlike, say, tropical birdsong, at least what I've heard of it in recordings.

I can think of no better way to bring the joy of spring into your living space.
