Between March and the beginning of July, in the twilight before sun rise, beautiful bird songs fill the air of forests, hedgerows, parks and gardens throughout Ireland. Bird calls can be heard at various times through the day. The sounds that create the internationally celebrated Dawn Chorus are different, these are called bird songs. Before the sun rises, birds cannot search for food as it is too dark. Instead they defend and mark out their territory, and attract female mates as it is the males who generally sing their unique bird songs. In parts of Ireland with a bit of careful listening you can pick out many different bird songs from a whole chorus. We are lucky in West Cork to have one such magical place. It is a sheltered inlet surrounded on both sides by woods and has a natural echo so the sounds are magnified. There is nothing more beautiful than to drift unobtrusively in a kayak and listen to the birds world wakening up with the dawn. When we finish our trip Carol's Cafe in Union Hall opens extra early for us to have breakfast .
