was anyone up for the international dawn chorus day?

it was amazing.
my ddog appreciates my interest and woke me at 4 am!

Up? No. Awake with window open? Yes.

I haven’t heard of that, but I sleep with the window open and am woken every morning by the dawn chorus. It’s wonderful.

Sleep with window open, so hear it every morning. The blackbird kicks it off, beautiful. I'm in NE Scoland, so it's really early. By summer solstice it's hardly worth going to bed!

No, I didn't realise it was a thing. Normally I do hear it (insomniac) but last night/morning it's been pouring with rain and I haven't heard a peep.

I didn't get out to hear it but enjoyed it from my bed with a cup of tea in hand. I always sleep with the window open and the owls send me to sleep and the songbirds are my alarm clock. Sometimes wish the 3am seagulls would keep it down though. What are they doing up at that hour!

Didn’t realise it was a thing, but didn’t sleep well last night and was thinking how very loud the little buggers were at 4am as I made a cuppa.

Didn’t know that was a thing. BUT, I did walk round the RHS garden with my Merlin app at Harlow Carr when it opened yesterday which was amazing. I also saw what I thought were two brown butterflies in a shrub I was standing two feet from and then looked closer and they were actually two tiny gold crests feeding on the blossom of the shrub 🥰
