I was fifteen in 1976. I remember well the dawn choruses of that time. Now I just want to weep with the sadness of its loss to modern society.

Listen to Britain’s dawn chorus of 1976: the dramatic loss of birdsong in 50 years https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/jul/03/dawn-chorus-uk-birdsong-50-years-audio-landscape?CMP=share_btn_url

@robtherunt I am in rural North Wales at present. A lot of birds but only one blackbird at dawn and during the day - bar the hungry sparrows just leaving the nest.
