I am recording the 90 second slot each morning at 05.58 (on my TV recorder).There will be a different presenter for each month of the year, David Attenborough for May, and 265 birds will be covered throughout the series. Perhaps hearing only one a day will help me memorize them.
Is anyone else listening? I can thoroughly recommend it as a start to the day.

I think I may have caught that a couple of mornings ago. I woke up and heard a bird singing - think it was a blackbird - and someone was talking about it. Would like to catch it every morning. It's a lovely idea. smile
