The Dawn chorus - Described as one of the true wonders of the natural world - but you'll have to up early to catch it at its best. The dawn chorus reaches its peak in early May as male birds sing to attract a mate, stake a territory and warn rivals away.
The early risers of the bird world are song thrushes, robins and blackbirds who start to sing about an hour before sunrise, followed later by warblers and wrens.
