    I enjoyed the dawn chorus this morning. Has everyone heard this?
    If not I can highly recommend it. At a guess I would say at approximately 4.15 there will be silence and half an hour later you won't believe what you're listening to.
    Yes I'm nuts but if you get the chance get out there and have a listen.

    We have a forest behind us and as soon as the light hits the chorus starts. It is does get loud.

    Me too, as I live in a rural area, no traffic sounds and fresh air, it is just great going for a walk in the country and just listening and looking around, Very calming and gives you a boost.

    I work in a city, went for an early morning walk there, morning chorus consisted of seagulls making their noises, sights were bin bags torn open and rubbish strewn everywhere by the aforementioned gulls. And the pitter patter of seagull defacation landing. All while choking back the city stink. Lovely :rotfl:
