Terrific radio.
May is the month for the dawn chorus. Here the first birds begin just after 0400, and there are more voices than I can recognise or even count.
The dawn chorus always makes me think of Kilvert's fantastic description on 7 May 1870.
And that always make me wonder what else William Plomer cut out of the diary for incomprehensible reasons.
A couple of years ago I send David Attenborough the Dawn Chorus entry in the diary, thinking that there was just a chance that even an enthusiast such as he might not have come across it.
I was amazed to receive a reply, and delighted to find that he had not been aware of it.
