There are just two days to go until bird lovers across the world come together for the annual celebration of nature’s ode to joy when songbirds fill the air with music as the sun comes up.
The organisers of International Dawn Chorus Day, The Wildlife Trust for Birmingham & the Black Country, want to make this year’s event a celebration of nature with modern connectivity and are hoping the event will trend globally on social media as participants tweet their experience of the dawn chorus all over the world.
Communications Officer, Joe Peacock says: “Twitter is a great way to share experiences, and this year participants will be using the hashtag #IDCD to tweet their experiences of the event. We hope that this will bring people closer together to see what’s happening around the world and feel part of a global community of nature-lovers.”
Reflecting on the success of International Dawn Chorus Day, Chris Baines says: ‘’The simple ideas are always the best! Every year, wherever I happen to be, I get an enormous thrill from listening to the dawn chorus on this special day, and knowing that I am sharing the pleasure with friends and family in lots of other places around the world.’’
