And we're listening for the first birds to start singing.

But I'm told that when it comes to you, Ken, I've got to remember your birthday on the 1st of April and salmon.

And it's because of that mix of habitats we have so many of them.

And it's just wonderful.

Farmland there, yeah, that's right.

And also then you have the foreshore.

The foreshore.

It's the middle of Cork Harbour.

So with all of those different habitats around and checking those microphones very carefully, we pick up a wide range of different species.

And you never know quite what it's going to be.

Mooney Goes Wild
Dawn Chorus - RTÉ Radio 1 and RTÉ lyric fm | Sunday, May 3rd 2026 | 00:00 - 07:00

It's different every year.

Mooney Goes Wild
Dawn Chorus - RTÉ Radio 1 and RTÉ lyric fm | Sunday, May 3rd 2026 | 00:00 - 07:00

And every year, I'm sure you're the same, Derek, we always have this little moment of panic.

Mooney Goes Wild
Dawn Chorus - RTÉ Radio 1 and RTÉ lyric fm | Sunday, May 3rd 2026 | 00:00 - 07:00

Are the birds going to fail us?

Mooney Goes Wild
Dawn Chorus - RTÉ Radio 1 and RTÉ lyric fm | Sunday, May 3rd 2026 | 00:00 - 07:00

Are they going to let us down?

Mooney Goes Wild
Dawn Chorus - RTÉ Radio 1 and RTÉ lyric fm | Sunday, May 3rd 2026 | 00:00 - 07:00

But they never do.

Mooney Goes Wild
Dawn Chorus - RTÉ Radio 1 and RTÉ lyric fm | Sunday, May 3rd 2026 | 00:00 - 07:00

Regardless of the weather, you know, we might suffer from that, but the birds will still... I find they're singing rather late at the moment.

Mooney Goes Wild
Dawn Chorus - RTÉ Radio 1 and RTÉ lyric fm | Sunday, May 3rd 2026 | 00:00 - 07:00

Or maybe I'm just getting up a little bit later.

Mooney Goes Wild
Dawn Chorus - RTÉ Radio 1 and RTÉ lyric fm | Sunday, May 3rd 2026 | 00:00 - 07:00

But even between now and actually that first weekend in May, there will be a difference in the daylight.

Is it always the same time?
