It was announced on the "Mooney Goes Wild" programme this morning that, as part of the National Dawn Chorus Day programme which is to be broadcast tomorrow morning from midnight, Paddy Glackin, Michael O'Donnel and Eamon de Buitlear will be playing tunes that have an association with birds.

So, if you can't get out to hear the real thing, this will be an excellent alternative.
