🐦‍⬛🎶 Dawn Chorus Day 🎶🐦‍⬛

That special day of the year again where you can enjoy the #wollatonpark before its official opening hours.

⏰ Sunday 4th May the gates to the park will be open from 4.30am so you can enjoy bird song at first light!

☕️ Blackbird Coffee are expected at their usual spot near the lake bridge ready to serve hot drinks.

I heard the start of #DawnChorusDay shortly after 4 am. 🐦🐦

I was trying to find a less uncomfortable position to lie or sit in bed due to a bad back. 😣

It was a spring without voices. On the mornings that had once throbbed with the dawn chorus of robins, catbirds, doves, jays, wrens, and scores of other bird voices there was now no sound; only silence lay over the fields and woods and marsh... Even the streams were now lifeless...

No witchcraft, no enemy action had silenced the rebirth of new life in this stricken world. The people had done it themselves.

A daybreak moment in the mist this morning. @aimeerivers tells me it's #DawnChorusDay today, and I hadn't even realised! Serendipity :)
